Osteocytes are mature osteoblasts which maintain the bone structure.
The canal that connects lacunae to osteocytes is called a canaliculus. Canaliculi are small channels that allow for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes located within lacunae in compact bone tissue.

The structure that connects a muscle to a bone is called a tendon.
The structure that connects bone to muscle is called a tendon.
The structure that connects the muscle to the bone is called a tendon.
Arterial duct is the structure that connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery.
The structure that connects the epididymis to the urethra is called the vas deferens.
The structure that connects the ribs to the sternum is called the costal cartilage.
Osteocytes. These cells are housed within the lacunae of the bone matrix and play a key role in maintaining bone health and structure.
Bone cells found in the lacunae within the matrix are called osteocytes. They are responsible for maintaining the bone structure and communicating with other bone cells to regulate bone remodeling and repair.
No, osteocytes don't mature into osteoblasts. Osteoblasts mature into osteocytes.
