Which bone type has the least amount of spongy bone relative to its total volume?
Long bones have the least amount of spongy bone relative to their total volume. Long bones, such as the femur or humerus, have a dense outer layer of compact bone with minimal spongy bone located at the ends.
What region of a bone does hematopoiesis occurs?
Red bone marrow in the spongy/trabecular/cancellous bone in the ends of long bones.
Is the diaphysis of a long bone composed of a spongy bone?
No, the diaphysis of a long bone is primarily composed of compact bone, not spongy bone. The compact bone surrounding the central medullary cavity provides strength and support to the bone, while spongy bone is typically found at the ends of long bones.
What is the name of the sight where the spongy bone is located in the adult?
The spongy bone in adults is located in the epiphyses of long bones, as well as in the interior of flat bones such as the sternum, ribs, and skull. This spongy bone is also referred to as trabecular or cancellous bone, and it provides structural support and flexibility to bones.
Do all compact bones contain spongy and compact bone tissue?
Yes, all compact bones contain both spongy and compact bone tissue. The outer layer of compact bone provides strength and protection, while the inner spongy bone contains bone marrow and provides flexibility.
Where is Spongy bone in a long bone?
It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis

Where is spongy bone located in the bone?
it is located mainly in the proximal and distal epiphysis (the ends of a bone.)
What differences with compact bone and spongy bone can be seen with the naked eye?
As the names suggest, compact bone is solid-looking, and forms the outer layers of all bone (and the shafts in long bones). Spongy bone looks like sponge, with small holes, and is found on the inside of bones and the expanded heads of long bones. As the names suggest, spongy bone is softer than the solid, compact bone. With the naked eye, you can see that the compact bone is smooth and located around the outside of a cross-section of bone. Spongy bone, on the other hand, is located on the inside and is very porous, like a sponge.
What are differences between compact and spongy bone the can be seen with the eye?
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.

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.

Can compact and spongy bone be found within the same long bone?
yes it can
