(19) Macrophages and giant cells did not form pits or resorption lacunae on the bone substrates as osteoclasts did.
(20) These MNC express an osteoclast phenotype and form resorption lacunae on calcified matrices.
Lacunal
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Lacunar
Example Sentences:

(3) Subdural hematoma and multiple lacunes in the cerebral white matter were demonstrated with brain MRI.
(4) Type II lacunes have not previously been reported during life.
(5) Our aim was to evaluate the capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging in the detection and delineation of lacunes in a project of clinicotopographic correlations.
(6) We evaluated 108 consecutive patients with a lacune in the lenticulostriate distribution for other stroke risk factors such as carotid and cardiac disease.
(7) The regional cerebral blood flow measured by the xenon-133 inhalation method was significantly lower in subjects with silent lacunes than in those without (p less than 0.02).
(8) Magnetic resonance imaging showed a left thalamic lacune bordering the medial portion of the posterior limb of the internal capsule.
