What is the purpose of the lamellae?
A
Connect Lacunae and osteocytes together
B
Safe space for osteocytes to reside
C
Space for blood vessels and nerves
D
provide strength and resilience to bone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Made mostly of collagen, bone is living, growing tissue. Collagen is a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate is a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. This combination of collagen and calcium makes bone strong and flexible enough to withstand stress.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cartilage has many functions, including the ability to resist compressive forces, enhance bone resilience, and provide support on bony areas where there is a need for flexibility. The primary cell that makes cartilage is the chondrocyte, which resides within the lacunae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Compact bone (or cortical bone) forms the hard external layer of all bones and surrounds the medullary cavity, or bone marrow. It provides protection and strength to bones.
