Which Tissue Has Cells in Lacunae?

Cartilage is a connective tissue with a large amount of the matrix and variable amounts of fibers. The cells, called chondrocytes, make the matrix and fibers of the tissue. Chondrocytes are found in spaces within the tissue called lacunae.

Which tissue has cells in lacunae quizlet?

The cells of cartilage (chondrocytes and chondroblasts) and bone (osteoblasts and osteocytes) are found in lacunae, or cavities in the extracellular matrix orconnective tissue.

In which tissue cells lacunae are enclosed?

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).
