Detailed explanation-1: -The small space in the matrix, containing an osteocyte in bone or chondrocyte in cartilage is called as Lacunae. The Lacunae are situated between the lamellae and consist of a number of oblong spaces. Each lacuna is occupied during life by a branched cell, termed an osteocyte, bone-cell or bone-corpuscle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lacunae are spaces in which bone cells are present. The main purpose of a lacuna in bone or cartilage is to provide a home for the cells it contains while also keeping them alive and functional. In bones, lacunae encase osteocytes; in cartilage, lacunae enclose chondrocytes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Osteocytes, the cells residing within the bone matrix, make up between 90% to 95% of the cellular component in skeletally mature adult bone tissue.
