Question

7 the small cavities in bone tissue where osteocytes are found are called: a lacunae b volksmanns canals c lamellae d central canal

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Lacunae: In bone tissue, osteocytes (mature bone cells) are located in small cavities called lacunae.
  • Volksmann's canals: These are channels that connect the central canals (Haversian canals) to each other and to the periosteum. They are not the cavities where osteocytes are found.
  • Lamellae: These are concentric layers of bone matrix. Osteocytes are in lacunae within the lamellae, but lamellae themselves are not the cavities.
  • Central canal (Haversian canal): It contains blood vessels, nerves, etc. and is part of the osteon (Haversian system), but not the cavity for osteocytes.

Answer:

A. lacunae
