GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -Between the rings of matrix, the bone cells (osteocytes) are located in spaces called lacunae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chondrocytes are located in the cartilage of the body and osteocytes are located in the bone. Chondrocytes reside in tiny pockets called lacunae that are in the center of cartilage deposits.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osteocytes are most often described as terminally differentiated osteoblasts that reside in small pockets termed lacunae, located deep within mineralized bone.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chondrocytes, or chondrocytes in lacunae, are cells found in cartilage connective tissue. They are the only cells located in cartilage. They produce and maintain the cartilage matrix, which is a type of lake in which the chondrocytes swim.
