Talus is typically found at the base of steep rock faces, cliffs, or mountainous areas where weathering and erosion have caused fragmented rock to accumulate. It often forms in alpine environments, where freeze-thaw cycles break down larger rocks into smaller pieces. Additionally, talus can be present in areas with significant geological activity, such as fault lines or volcanic regions, where rock falls are common.

Between layers of concentric lamellae, which are found in bone tissue, there are small spaces called lacunae. These lacunae contain osteocytes, the mature bone cells that maintain the bone matrix. Additionally, tiny channels called canaliculi connect the lacunae, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange between osteocytes and the blood supply in the bone.
