The cavities in bone tissue where osteocytes are located are called lacunae.
Lacunae are small spaces within the bone matrix that serve as chambers for osteocytes, the mature bone cells responsible for maintaining the bone tissue. Each osteocyte resides in its own lacuna and communicates with other osteocytes through tiny channels called canaliculi. This network allows osteocytes to exchange nutrients and waste products, ensuring the health and maintenance of the bone structure. The presence of lacunae and their relationship with osteocytes is crucial for bone remodeling and overall skeletal integrity.
