The small spaces in compact bone tissue that are holes that osteocytes live in are called lacunae (singular: lacuna). The canal that runs through the core of each osteon is the site of blood vessels and nerve fibers; these canals are called canaliculi.

The lacuna can sometimes be seen as an empty space with the cell nucleus inside and sometimes the cell nucleus takes up the entire lacuna.
