How do specialized cells create compact bone from cartilage?

Specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for creating compact bone from cartilage through a process known as endochondral ossification. Initially, a cartilage model forms, which is gradually replaced by bone as osteoblasts secrete bone matrix and mineralize it. Meanwhile, osteoclasts help remodel the bone by resorbing any unnecessary cartilage and bone, ensuring the compact bone structure achieves its strength and density. This process is crucial during skeletal development and growth.


What Tissue is present in long bone?

Long bones contain compact bone tissue on the outer layer and spongy bone tissue on the inner layer. Compact bone provides strength and support, while spongy bone helps to reduce the bone's weight without compromising its strength.


What bone lines the superficial regions of all bone spongy or compact?

What is the difference between spongey bone and compact bone and where are both found?

Spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone, has a porous structure and is found at the ends of long bones and within the interior of flat bones. It contains red bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. Compact bone is dense and hard, forming the outer layer of bones. It provides strength and protection to the bone.
