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.
wierd
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.
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.
spongy
An outer layer of Cortical Bone surrounds a spongy bone centre. The pockets within the sponge are filled with Bone Marrow. The inner bone looks like thick sponge filled with slime
The are made in bone marrow or the spongy bonepart of the bone. Look in your science book to double check!
Look at that compact car!
they look round and spongy
The special material in bones that makes blood cells is called bone marrow. Bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue found in the cavities of bones and is responsible for the production of different types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
lungs look like spongy lobes. They have this qualiity for easy gas transfusions and buoyancy. Your lungs are mostly made up of tiny air sacs called alveoli. This gives the lungs a spongy, or porous look to them.
Yes you can make your char look very differrent from everyone elses. Its hard look exactly the same as som1 else
No it should not. Your horses frog may be infected. The frog in a horses hoof is supposed to be softer than the rest of the hoof, but it should NOT be spongy.
