In the Structure of Bone,the Minute Chambers That House the Bone

Question

In the structure of bone,the minute chambers that house the bone cells are called
A)chondrocrania.
B)lacunae.
C)osteons.
D)lamellae.
E)canaliculi.

Accepted Answer

Lacunae are small spaces or cavities within the bone matrix that contain bone cells, known as osteocytes. The osteocytes are connected to each other and to the central canal of the osteon by tiny channels called canaliculi. Osteons (C) are the basic functional units of compact bone, consisting of concentric layers of mineralized bone matrix arranged around a central canal. Lamellae (D) are the concentric layers of mineralized bone matrix within an osteon. Chondrocrania (A) refers to the cartilaginous skull of certain animals and is not related to bone structure.
