		Canaliculi arising from one lacuna may anastomose with those of other lacunae and, eventually, with larger, vessel-containing canals within the bone.
		Unlike chondrocytes, osteocytes have several thin processes, which extend from the lacunae into small channels within the bone matrix, the canaliculi.
		In the process of the deposition of the matrix, osteoblasts become encased in small hollows within the matrix, the lacunae.

		Lacuna and canaliculi form around the osteocyte and its cytoplasmic processes, respectively.
		Although osteocytes have reduced synthetic activity and are not capable of mitotic division, they are actively involved with the maintenance of bony matrix.
		Some of the osteocytes die during remodeling, but most probably return to the state of osteoprogenitor cell or persist as osteocytes for a long time.
