Explanation
Chondrocytes are enclosed in small cavities within the matrix secreted by them. Cartilage is present in the tip of nose, outer ear joints, between adjacent bones of the vertebral column. Most cartilages in vertebrate embryos are replaced by bones in adults. The bone cells (osteocytes) are present in the spaces called lacunae. Lamellae are concentric layers of matrix.
