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 would you look like if you had compact bone on the outside and spongy bone on the outside?

What would happen if compact bone was on the inside and spongy bone was on the outside?
If the spongy bone was on the outside, people would look puffy or jelly like fillings. They're likely to be very sensitive to every little touch. Plus if an injury would occur the damage to spongy bone would cause less production of RBC's or permanent damage if continuously damaged. Spongy bone is lighter, softer and weaker then compact bone, but it has greater surface area and much more vascular, so it needs to be protected at al times and that's why we need compact bone to be on the outside because its stronger and stiffer then the spongy bone.
What is the difference between compact bone and spongy bone and where are they found?
The middle section of a long bone is compact or 'solid'. Of course, this bone is not completely solid . . . there are 3 kinds of living bone cells located there: Osteoblasts, which grow new bone, Osteoclasts, which remove bone for use elsewhere in the body, and osteocytes, which are simply living cells within the bone. Near the ends of the long bones, though, is bone that has zillions of little 'bubbles' of bone . . . it does look a little like a sponge, but it is hard. The spongy bone is near the part that grows when you are young. Later in life the spongy bone helps cushion sharp impacts to the bone ends.

How will a bone soak in vinegar look like?
The combination of vinegar and heat causes the calcium and collagen in the bone to break down. this makes the bone flexible and spongy like cartilage. the purpose of the experiment is to help you understand the difference between bone and cartilage and why they are different. The experiment should also be done with two separate chicken bones - one soaked in vinegar which breaks down the calcium leaving it flexible or rubbery; the other is baked which destroys the collagen leaving it brittle.
