- Compact bone is the solid, hard, outside part of the bone. It looks like ivory and is extremely strong. Holes and channels run through it, carrying blood vessels and nerves from the periosteum, the bone's membrane covering, to its inner parts.
- Cancellous bone, which looks like a sponge, is inside the compact bone.
What else can I help you with?
What type of bone makes up the shaft of a long bone?
bone marrow is in the center of the bone shaft
Are compact bone homogeneous?
No, compact bone is not homogeneous. It is made up of osteons, which are cylindrical structures containing concentric layers of bone tissue called lamellae. This arrangement gives compact bone its characteristic strength and resilience.
What part of the bone is hard and dense?
compact bone. yah buddy!
What kind of tissue is inside the bone?
The part of bone you are asking about is called compact bone, or cortical bone.
Which bone tissue adapted to support weight and withstand tension stress?
The type of bone tissue that gives a bone its strength is called cortical or compact bone tissue. This type of bone tissue is dense and forms the outer layer of most bones in the body, providing strength, support, and protection. Cortical bone tissue contains mineralized collagen fibers that are arranged in a parallel fashion, giving the bone its characteristic strength and resistance to bending or breaking.

Area of bone that is made up of osteons?

Type of connective tissue that is classified as compact or spongy?
Bone tissue can be either spongey or compact. Compact bone is found on the walls of the shaft of bones while Spongey bone is found at the ends of the bone where joints are made.
Does spongy bone or compact bone provide most of the strength to the bone?
Compact bone.

Is the compact bone spongy?
Actually the compact bone isn't spongy at all, the compact bone is a tough layer making the bone neither too rigid or too brittle. So the compact bone is not spongy. Spongy bone, like its name is spongy.
Compact bone appearance?
Compact bone appears as a dense, solid tissue with few gaps or spaces. It is made up of concentric circles of bone tissue called lamellae, surrounding vascular canals known as Haversian canals which contain blood vessels and nerves. Compact bone provides strength and support to the skeleton.
What area epiphysis or diaphysis is made up of a thick layer of compact bone and a very thin layer of spongy bone?
diaphysisNo. The epiphysis is the growing part of a boneThe epiphysis is at the end of the bones and the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. The diaphysis is the answer to your question.
What does spongy bone lack that compact bone has?
Spongy bone has holes in it that make it strong, but compact bone doesn't have any holes in it.
