What type of bone tissue does not have any open visible spaces?
Compact bone is the type of bone tissue without visible open spaces. In contrast, spongy bone has visible spaces.
What kind of bone has many open spaces and contains marrow?
Cancellous bone, or spongy bone, has many open spaces and contains marrow. It is softer and weaker than compact bone.
What is small needlelike pieces of bone with lots of open spaces?
Spongy bone
What type of fracture has the bone protruding from the?
A compound or open fracture, where the bone is visible sticking out of the skin
What are spongy bones filled with in their small open spaces?
Bone marrow, more specifically yellow bone marrow.
What type of fracture has protruding bone from the skin?
It is called an open fracture. But there are other ways to further classify this type. It is the Gustilo open fracture classification which classifies into three major categories (types) depending on the mechanism of the injury, soft tissue damage, and degree of skeletal involvement.
What is the innermost layer component of a bone?
Bone is not a solid uniform material; it has spaces between the hard elements. The hard outer layer of the bone is made up of the compact cortical bone tissue that gives bone the hard, white, smooth solid appearance. This is often called 'dense' bone. The inside of the bone is filled with trabecular bone tissue (cancellous or spongy bone) which has a honeycombed appearance due to its open cell porous network made up of rod and plate elements that give the bone lightness and room for the blood vessels and bone marrow.
What cells are removed during a mastoidectomy?
The cells are open spaces containing air that are located throughout the mastoid bone.
What are Open Closed Greenstick and stress fractures?
Open Break this is when the skin is open and bone is visible, Closed Break this is when there is a break that doesn't tear the skin, Green stick this is when the bone is bent and broken on one side and lastly a Stress Fracture and this is when a fracture which is caused by to much use.

Describe bone structure?
The human bone structure is called a skeleton.
When was Open Spaces Society created?
Open Spaces Society was created in 1865.
How do compact and spongy bones differ?
Spongy Bone has more surface area, but it is weaker and not as dense as compact bone. Compact Bone is the tough outer layer of bone while spongy bone is the porous bone where the red and yellow marrow is. Spongy is softer bone, with holes in it. It is found inside the bone. It is lighter than compact bone. Compact bone is generally on the outer edges of bone. it is composed of multiple osteon units that are bunched closely together like stacked logs and, thus, is good at bearing weight in the long direction. Spongy bone is generally on the inside of compact bone. Individual osteon-like struts (called trabeculae) branch in many directions and interconnect. Thus, there are spaces created where red marrow exists. This kind of bone is good at handling stress from multiple directions and is lighter weight. Spongy bone can appear yellow because it has some fat in it, and it is possible to see small holes in spongy bone. Compact bone is usually white. Also, spongy bone is not long (like the wrist) most irregular and flat bones are formed from spongy bone tissue. Compact bone is usually long (like a femur). Compact bone tissue is hard with few open spaces & provides protection and support.Spongy bone tissue is porous with many open spaces
