Compact Bone, makes up the dense material in a long section of a bone. Cancellous bone, is found in the end regions of long bones and hs plates of bone interspersed with bone marrow.
What is found in long hollow spaces of long bones?

Compact bone
What does the medullary cavity do in the bone?
the medullary cavity in the bone is located in the middle of a long bone and yellow marrow is located here (only seen in adults).
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.
What is the longest bone in the body the largest the smallest?
