Both of them, the compact (cortical) and spongy (trabeculate) bones, localted in the epiphysis. There is outer compact bone like a sheath with an inner spongy bone core. This design helps in dispersion of force at joints.

What does spongy bone do and where is is found?
Spongy bone is found in the epiphysis part of bone
Bone found in the epiphysis of the bone?
The epiphysis is the end of long bones and they are made of hard bone on the outside and spongy bone on the inside.
What is the expanded region of a long bone consisting of spongy bone called?
Long bones mostly consist of compact bone, but the region that does consist of spongy bone is called the epiphysis. There is a proximal epiphysis and a distal epiphysis. The region consisting of the compact bone is diaphysis.
What is at the end of bones?
In the epiphysis, or end of the bone, is spongy bone which contains red bone marrow. On the external part of the epiphysis is articular or hyaline cartilage.
Where is spongy bone located in the bone?
it is located mainly in the proximal and distal epiphysis (the ends of a bone.)
What makes up the interior of the epiphysis of the long bone?
Cancellous or spongy bone.
What is the name of the sight where the spongy bone is located in the adult?
Spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone, is less dense than compact bone and is composed of a honeycomb-like network of bones called trabeculae. Spongy bone actually looks like a sponge. It is found at the expanded heads of long bones, such as bones of the arms, legs, fingers and toes and also in the ribs. Spongy bone also fills most irregular bones, such as bones of the skull, vertebrae and hips. Blood vessels run throughout the substance and marrow fills the spaces between the tissues. Spongy bones are designed to bear stress caused by bending or stretching.
Bones that are thin and composed of two relatively parallel plates of compact bone enclosing a layer of spongy bone are called?
Flat bones. these are curved and flat and mostly act as protective covrings and attachment sites for muscles. eg flat bones of skull vault. the compact bones are called tables and the spongy bone is known as dipole.
What is the advantage of spongy bone tissue in the ends of long bones?
it is the epiphysismarrow?
What is the term for the enlarged ends of long bones?
The term for enlarged ends of long bones is epiphysis. This is a thin layer of compact bone overlying spongy bone.
Is the diaphysis of a long bone composed of a spongy bone?
YesYes, from inside. But from outside it is composed of compact bone. Clavicle being an exception in that is has no cancellous bone.
What is located at the end of each long bone?
The spongy bone is the type of bone that you will find at the expansion of longer bones. This helps to fill the irregular spots in bones to make them complete.
