What type of bone helps to increase the amount of surface area?
Trabecular bone, also known as spongy or cancellous bone, helps to increase the surface area within the skeletal structure. Its porous, lattice-like architecture provides a large surface area for the exchange of nutrients and minerals, as well as for housing bone marrow. This increased surface area enhances the bone's strength and ability to withstand stress while maintaining a lightweight structure.
