Spongy bone is the tissue that makes up the interior of bones; compact bone is the tissue that forms the surface of bones. In long bones, spongy bone forms the interior of the epiphyses; the diaphysis (shaft) consists of compact bone surrounding the central marrow cavity.
Spongy bone can also be found in the rib slide (21). It contains large marrow spaces defined by shelves and spicules of bone. The inner space is lined by osteoblasts and osteoclasts (called the endosteum). Osteocytes can be seen in layers in adult spongy bone. Outside all of bone, is a connective tissue sheath called the periosteum. It contains inner layers of osteogenic cells that can give rise to osteoblasts and make new bone,.
