Cortical bone, also known as compact bone is one of two main types of osseous tissues. Cortical bone is dense and forms the surface of bones, contributing 80% of the weight of a human skeleton. It is extremely hard, formed of multiple stacked layers with few gaps.
The other major type of bone is trabecular or cancellous bone; it is spongy and makes up the bulk of the interior of most bones, including the vertebrae.
the difference is that spongy bone is soft and sqeezeable and regular bone are hard to bite and its harder to break
Spongy Bone.
Red marrow is found within the trabeculae of spongy bone.
Yes. The sternum is a flat bone. Flat bones have two layers of compact bone with diploe in between the compact bone. Diploe is the layer of spongy bone.
The spongy bone is called cartilage, cartilage is found in the nose, ears, ans. Normal bones are your legs, arms ans.
Spongy BoneA spongy bone is so spongy because, the spongy bone has many open spaces and contains bone marrow. But, spongy bone is know to be lightweight and very strong.It also contains trabeculae which allow for the "gaps" in the bone and allow it "give." It is also the only place where red marrow is found in adults.

The compact bone surrounds the spongy bone and provides structure for the body.
The compact bone has a continuous matrix with no gaps while the spongy bone has numerous branching bony plates. The irregular connecting spaces between the plates help reduce the bone's weight in the spongy bone.
Spongy Bone.
Red marrow is found within the trabeculae of spongy bone.
Spongy bone can appear yellow because it has some fat in it, and it is possible to see small holes in spongy bone. Also, spongy bone is not long (like the wrist). Compact bone is usually long (like a femur) and white.
No. Flat bones consist of spongy bone sandwiched between compact bone.
Yes. The sternum is a flat bone. Flat bones have two layers of compact bone with diploe in between the compact bone. Diploe is the layer of spongy bone.
The spongy bone is called cartilage, cartilage is found in the nose, ears, ans. Normal bones are your legs, arms ans.
The bone is constructed of compact and spongy bone, unless you are referring to the cushioning between bone that bend called joints, you would have to be more specific
Spongy bone is found in the epiphysis part of bone
Actually the compact bone isn't spongy at all, the compact bone is a tough layer making the bone neither too rigid or too brittle. So the compact bone is not spongy. Spongy bone, like its name is spongy.
