What we refer to spongy bone is actually bone marrow. Unlike compact bone, which is composed of calcified cartilage (which is what is derived from mesenchyme), spongy bone has two distinct parts.
One is yellow marrow, which is the flexible fat cells that prevent bones from breaking. The other is red marrow, which is where the blood cells in the body is made and replenished from.
