When an osteoblast becomes completely surrounded by its own matrix secretions, it is referred to as an osteocyte. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that reside in small cavities called lacunae and play a crucial role in maintaining bone tissue by regulating mineral content and communicating with other bone cells. They are essential for bone health and homeostasis.
Nasal secretions are commonly referred to as "mucus" or "snot."

Examples include the Caspian Sea, which is the largest enclosed inland body of water in the world, and the Great Lakes in North America. Such areas can have unique ecosystems and are important for local climates and economies.
