An osteon, also known as a Haversian system, typically contains about 4 to 20 osteocytes. These osteocytes are housed in small spaces called lacunae, which are interconnected by tiny channels known as canaliculi. The osteocytes play a crucial role in the maintenance of bone tissue and communicate with each other to regulate bone remodeling.
