Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osteocytes reside in lacunae within the mineralized bone matrix and send their dendritic processes (ranging from 40–100 per cell [1]) through tiny tunnels called canaliculi to form the osteocyte lacunocanalicular network (Figures 1 and 2), which connects to cells on the bone surface and to the vasculature.
Detailed explanation-2: -osteocyte, a cell that lies within the substance of fully formed bone. It occupies a small chamber called a lacuna, which is contained in the calcified matrix of bone.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bone lacunae are small, spindle-shaped spaces (appearing dark in this image), each containing an osteocyte that is left behind by osteoblasts during the process of remodelling.
