What part of the bone is hard and dense?
compact bone. yah buddy!
Compare compact and spongy bone in macroscopic appearance structure and relative location?
Compact Bone in macroscopic appearance looks solid and dense. Spongy bone in macroscopic appearance looks poorly organized. compact bone in microscopic structure is riddled with passage ways that serve as conduits for nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. Spongy bone is microscopic structure; the trabaculae in spongy bone align precisely along lines of stress and help the bone resist stress as much as possible. Location of compact bone in the outer layer of short, flat and irregular bones and also in the diaphysis of long bones. Spongy bone location; in the inside of short, flat and irregular bones and also in the epihyses of long bones.
Disadvantage of compact bone?
The disadvantage of compact bone is that it is usually very heavy. The bone is not as strong as the spongy bone.
What kind of tissue is inside the bone?
The part of bone you are asking about is called compact bone, or cortical bone.
Hardest part of the bone?
Compact or cortical bone is hte hard, strong layer of bone.
How do spongy and compact bone look differrent?
Compact bone looks pretty much solid and spongy bone looks more like the back of a wicker chair. The lattice-like appearance is called trabeculae and makes the bone lighter and has space for the bone marrow.
What part of the bone is hard and dense?
compact bone. yah buddy!
Is compact bone located in the diaphysis or the epiphyses?
Compact bone is dense and solid in appearance and cancellous bone is characterized by open space partially filled with needle-like structures. Compact bone is found in the main shaft of long bones called the diaphysis. Its' function is to provide strong support without cumbersome weight.

Does spongy bone or compact bone provide most of the strength to the bone?
Compact bone.

Is the compact bone spongy?
Actually the compact bone isn't spongy at all, the compact bone is a tough layer making the bone neither too rigid or too brittle. So the compact bone is not spongy. Spongy bone, like its name is spongy.
Which bone tissue adapted to support weight and withstand tension stress?
The type of bone tissue that gives a bone its strength is called cortical or compact bone tissue. This type of bone tissue is dense and forms the outer layer of most bones in the body, providing strength, support, and protection. Cortical bone tissue contains mineralized collagen fibers that are arranged in a parallel fashion, giving the bone its characteristic strength and resistance to bending or breaking.

What does spongy bone lack that compact bone has?
Spongy bone has holes in it that make it strong, but compact bone doesn't have any holes in it.
