Definitions

1. Empty lacunae are a histologic hallmark for necrosis of bone.
2. Lacunae are tiny, chambers that contain osteocytes.
3. Lacunae are also a subset of thrombotic stroke. (Web site)
4. These lacunae are found more typically in the internal capsule, deep gray nuclei, and white matter. (Web site)
5. These lacunae were greatest in Job and his version of that book was much longer than the Septuagint. (Web site)

Arteries

1. The arteries of the spleen in part end in capillaries from which the veins arise, but more frequently they open into lacunae or blood spaces,,. (Web site)

Cells

1. Cells, resembling cementoblasts, lined irregularly shaped lacunae, which were present in the tumor tissue, and showed minimal cellular pleomorphism.

Bone Destruction

1. This kind of lacunae are considered as anatomic variants, because no bone destruction is demonstrable, as confirmed by technetium scintigraphy. (Web site)

Bone Surface

1. These lacunae, or resorption pits, are left behind after the breakdown of the bone surface. (Web site)

Singly

1. Chondrocytes occur singly or in groups (called "cell nests") within spaces called lacunae.

Cartilage Cells

1. Cartilage cells, which are called chondrocytes, are located in lacunae.

Bone

1. These lacunae, or resorption pits, are left behind after the breakdown of bone and often present as ''scalloped'' surfaces.
2. Canaliculi arising from one lacuna may anastomose with those of other lacunae and, eventually, with larger, vessel-containing canals within the bone.
3. The empty lacunae indicate that the bone is necrotic.

Trabeculae

1. These become applied to the trabeculae and gradually eat their way into the matrix thus coming to lie within lacunae. (Web site)

Woven Bone

1. Lamellae are not visible (woven bone) and the lacunae are larger than lacunae in mature bone.
2. Compare the shapes, sizes and frequencies of lacunae in lamellar and woven bone if both types of bone are present.

Osteoclasts

1. Howship John, 1781-1841, English surgeon; H.'s lacunae or foveolae= small depressions in bone where resporption of bone by osteoclasts takes place. (Web site)

Canaliculi

1. Canaliculus (bone) - Canaliculi are microscopic canals between the various lacunae of ossified bone. (Web site)
2. Canaliculi are microscopic canals between the various lacunae of ossified bone. (Web site)

Osteoblasts

1. Osteoblasts still not isolated in a lacunae can emerge from beneath the layer of compact bone and form layers of spongy bone over compact bone.

Chondrocytes

1. Cartilage has limited repair capabilities, because chondrocytes are bound in lacunae, they cannot migrate to damaged areas. (Web site)
2. The cells are called chondrocytes (ch) and the spaces in the cartilage in which they are found are called lacunae. (Web site)
3. Because chondrocytes are bound in lacunae, they cannot easily migrate to damaged areas and lay down new matrix.

Osteocyte

1. The space that an osteocyte occupies is called a lacunae (Latin for a pit).

Osteocytes

1. Between the rings of matrix, the bone cells (osteocytes) are located in spaces called lacunae. (Web site)
2. Its cells include osteocytes, which are embedded within lacunae, and the free-roaming osteoblasts and osteoclasts. (Web site)
3. The osteoblasts that have previously been trapped in their own salt deposits now lie in lacunae within the spicule and are called osteocytes.

Lacunae

1. A proportion of osteoblasts become trapped in lacunae within the matrix of bone as osteocytes, connected by a system of canaliculi.
2. Unlike chondrocytes, osteocytes have several thin processes, which extend from the lacunae into small channels within the bone matrix, the canaliculi.
3. Osteocytes, lacunae and canaliculi in trabecular bone resemble those in compact bone.
