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.
