Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In growing cartilage, the chondrocytes can divide, and the daughter cells remain close together in groups, forming a ‘nest’ of 2-4 cells. The matrix enclosed compartments that they sit in are called lacunae. (lacunae = little lakes/small pits).
