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: -Lacuna in anatomy Biology definition: (histology) Lacuna is the small cavity containing an osteocyte in bone, or a chondrocyte in cartilage; (botany) an air space in plant tissues; (general) a small depression, empty space, or cavity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Compact Bone Between the rings of matrix, the bone cells (osteocytes) are located in spaces called lacunae. Small channels (canaliculi) radiate from the lacunae to the osteonic (haversian) canal to provide passageways through the hard matrix.
Detailed explanation-4: -Osteocytes are present in spaces called lacunae.
