Catilage
Cells in lacunae allow for the exchange of nutrients and waste products with the surrounding extracellular matrix. They also help maintain tissue structure and function by secreting and maintaining the matrix components.
The bone cells are contained within small spaces called lacunae, which are located within the mineralized matrix of the bone tissue. These lacunae are connected to each other by tiny channels called canaliculi, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange between the bone cells.
The lacunae of osseous tissue contain osteocytes, which are mature bone cells that maintain the bone tissue. These cells are embedded within the mineralized matrix of the bone and are connected to each other and to the blood supply through tiny channels called canaliculi. Osteocytes play a key role in bone remodeling and responding to mechanical stresses placed on the bone.
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.

In lacunae, you can find chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are cells that are responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix of cartilage tissue.
Osteocytes. These cells are housed within the lacunae of the bone matrix and play a key role in maintaining bone health and structure.
Osteocytes and lacunae are found in the mineralized extracellular matrix of bone tissue, not within a specific bone. Osteocytes are the primary cells of mature bone, residing within small cavities called lacunae.
Cells inside lacunae receive oxygen through diffusion from nearby blood vessels. Blood vessels supply oxygen to surrounding tissues, which then diffuse into the lacunae where the cells reside. This process ensures that the cells inside lacunae receive the necessary oxygen for their metabolism.
A chondrocyte typically occupies a space within the extracellular matrix of cartilage called a lacuna. These lacunae provide a home for chondrocytes, which are the only cells found in mature cartilage tissue.
The bone cells are contained within small spaces called lacunae, which are located within the mineralized matrix of the bone tissue. These lacunae are connected to each other by tiny channels called canaliculi, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange between the bone cells.
Bone cells surround Haversian canals. Osteon (Haversian system) is the structural unity of bone. Spaces for osteocytes are called lacunae. The matrix is present in concentric rings called lamellae. Canaliculi are canals that join lacunae with the central Haversian canal (central canal)

Osteocytes
Lacunae in cartilage are small, hollow spaces or cavities within the cartilage matrix that house chondrocytes, the cells responsible for maintaining the cartilage. Each lacuna typically contains one or more chondrocytes, which are embedded in the surrounding extracellular matrix. These structures are crucial for the overall health and maintenance of cartilage, allowing for nutrient exchange and cellular communication. Lacunae help provide structural integrity and support to the cartilage tissue.
