What are the two types of bone?
The two types of bone are compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bones, providing strength and protection. Spongy bone is less dense and found inside bones, providing structural support and flexibility.
Straps of dense connective tissue that join bones to bones are called?
LIGAMENTS
Another name for spongy bone is this?
Cancellous bone. It is the less dense and more porous type of bone tissue found in the interior of bones.
Describe the 3 layers of bones?
The outer layer of bones is the compact bone, which is dense and provides strength and support to the skeletal system. The middle layer is the spongy bone, which is less dense and contains spaces filled with bone marrow where blood cells are produced. The innermost layer is the bone marrow, which produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets essential for bodily functions.
What is a common function of dense connective tissue?
A common function of dense connective tissue is to provide strength and support to various structures in the body. It can be found in tendons and ligaments, where it helps to transmit forces generated by muscle contractions and stabilize joints.
What is a disease that cause bones to become less dense?
Osteoporosis

Oseteoporosis. "Osteo" is the root word meaning "bones", and the "porous" part indicates that the bones aren't as solid as they should be.
What does osteoporosis effect?

Which bones are less dense bird bones or mammal bones?
Mammal bones are less dense and thicker, because they don't have to deal with the stresses of flying. The bones of a bird are thinner, and have a dense structure of internal struts that make the bone exceptionally stiff and strong.
In Old age bone may become?

Cooler material is more dense and hotter material is less. This means that plates become more dense as they cool.
Does polar water diluted by meltings ice become more or less dense?
less denser than
Do diamonds become less dense when heat is added?
Yes. They do become less dense provided that the diamond melts. The particles in liquid are less close to each other as compared to in a solid.
Would the density in liquid become more dense or less dense when thermal energy is added?
When thermal energy is added to a liquid, the molecules will move faster and further apart, causing the liquid to expand and become less dense.
What is osteoporosis and who is most affected?
Older women are the most at risk due to a loss of certain hormones as they age. The condition is one where the bones become less dense making them brittle and easy to fracture.
