Brief Explanations
Osteocytes are mature bone cells. Lacunae are small cavities in bone tissue that house osteocytes. Canaliculi are small channels connecting lacunae (they contain osteocyte cell processes, not the osteocytes themselves). The central canal (Haversian canal) contains blood vessels and nerves. Lamellae are layers of bone matrix.
