Compact bone is the outer most part of the bone. It's dense, strong and made up of many layers. But bones are not solid all the way through- yellow marrow is found within the hallowed out walls of compact bone.
Spongy bone is only found on the ends of bones. Spongy bone isn't really spongy; really it's hard but it has lots of holes- which gives it the appearance of a sponge. Spongy bone is where red marrow is kept. Spongy bone is where blood is made!
Fun Fact: the ribs are made completely of spongy bone.

general health
It's a major thing when a bone breaks. Even children's bones require time to mend.
Having strong bones as a child provides a healthy foundation for bone health later in life. When we're children and teenagers, we build practically all of our bone density. Around the age of 20, most people have completed their bone development. We continue replace old bone with new bone as adults, but at a slower rate. As we grow older, our bones become weaker.
Children with strong bones are less likely to have bone weakness later in life. Parents may help by ensuring that their children obtain the three essential nutrients for strong bones: calcium, vitamin D, and exercise.
