Why do people have spongy bone and compact bone?
Compact bone and spongy bone both perform different functions. Compact bone forms the outer tissue of bone. It forms the walls of the diaphysis of long bones and part of the epiphyses. It is vascularized tissue that accepts nourishment from the blood vessels. Spongy bone is located in the spaces that fill with bone marrow (central marrow cavity) in long bones (interior of the epiphyses) and adds strength to bone with minimal weight.
What are perforating canals?
Canals in the bone in which blood vessels pass. Blood vessels from outside the bone penetrate the compact bone to the spongy bone through the PERFORATING CANALS.
What are the specialized types of connective tissue?
Specialized connective tissue includes: Liquid (blood and lymph), bone (spongy and compact), and cartilage (hyaline, fibrous, and elastic).
Name the four basic parts of a bone and identify the function of each?
The four basic parts of a bone are the spongy bone, Compact bone, Marrow, and the periosteum. The periosteum contains blood vessels that supply nutrients to the bone and the nerves. the compact bone provides support and is made up of living bone cells, minerals, protein fibers, blood vessels, and nerves. The spongy bone is a connective tissue that make bones both light and strong. The bone marrow which can be yellow or red and is made mostly of fat that store energy, and is located in the middle of long bones.
Blood vessles that supply nourishment to the bone cells in compact bones are located in what?
Osteonic Canals
What are the functions of the compact bone and spongy bone?
Compact bone makes the bones hard enough so that they can provide support to the body and protect organs. It makes up the hard exterior of skeletal bones. Spongy bone (cancellous bone) is in shorter, flatter bones, and at the ends of long bones. It has more blood vessels and usually contains bone marrow, where red blood cells are produced.
Red bone marrow is found in spongy or compact bone?
Bone marrow is the substance that is found at the core of bones, and is either made of fat or red blood cells depending on the type of bone in question. For spongy bone, the marrow is made of red blood cells.

Spongy bone is located in the spaces that fill with bone marrow (central marrow cavity) in long bones (interior of the epiphyses) and adds strength to bone with minimal weight.
What type of tissues make up a bone?
Spongy, which makes red blood cells, and compact.
How does compact bone differ from spongy bone?
Although compact bone looks hard and solid, a microscope reveals that it is riddled with passageways that serve as conduits for nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels. Spongy bone looks like a poorly organized tissue. Spongy bone looks like Swiss cheese with the many holes presented.
What are the 4 parts of bone?
Marrow, spongy bone, Blood Vessels, and Compact Bone hope this helps By Mr. trolololololol
What is a description of the microscope stucture of compact bone?
Compact bone is dense and does not contain many spaces (unlike spongy bone). It has a concentric-ring structure. Compact bone consists of osteons which contains blood vessels and Volkmann's canals (which also hold blood vessels and nerves but run perpendicular to the osteons).
What are perforating canals?
Canals in the bone in which blood vessels pass. Blood vessels from outside the bone penetrate the compact bone to the spongy bone through the PERFORATING CANALS.
What are the specialized types of connective tissue?
Specialized connective tissue includes: Liquid (blood and lymph), bone (spongy and compact), and cartilage (hyaline, fibrous, and elastic).
Is a chicken bone mostly marrow or compact bone?
yes... everything has bone marrow. it makes the blood cells

Osteonic Canals
