Question

_________ are the spaces in which the bone cells are found.

• A. Lacunae
• B. Lamella
• C. Canaliculi
• D. Collagen fibres

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lacunae


The bone cells or the osteocytes are present in the spaces called lacunae present in the bone matrix.

Lamellae are concentric layers of the compact bone tissue which surrounds a central canal called Haversian canal.

The fine network of the canal called canaliculi forms concentric layers around the Haversian canal. Canaliculi supply the nutrients to the osteocytes (bone cells).

Collagen is a type of structural protein which is secreted by the cells of the connective tissue. Collagen fibres form the matrix of cartilage.
