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: -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.
