Bones that are thin and composed of two relatively parallel plates of compact bone enclosing a layer of spongy bone are called?
Flat bones. these are curved and flat and mostly act as protective covrings and attachment sites for muscles. eg flat bones of skull vault. the compact bones are called tables and the spongy bone is known as dipole.
What is the term for the enlarged ends of long bones?
The term for enlarged ends of long bones is epiphysis. This is a thin layer of compact bone overlying spongy bone.
Site of compact bone in adult?
Compact bone is the outer region of all the bones in your body.There are two basic parts of each of your bones:There is an outer hard layer of bone called either compact bone or cortical bone. this layer is much more dense.There is an inner layer of bone called either cancellous bone or trabecular bone. This is a softer bone and contains bone marrow and much more blood vessels than the cortical (compact) bone.
Does the stenum has two layers of compact bone with a layer of spongy bone sandwiched in between?
Yes. The sternum is a flat bone. Flat bones have two layers of compact bone with diploe in between the compact bone. Diploe is the layer of spongy bone.
Mostly solid dense part of bone?
the outer layer of bone it is dense and strong.
What category of the bone is composed of two layers of compact bone sandwhichng a layer of spongy bone?

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.

What layer of bone is called the diploe?
spongy layer between the compact bone layers of the edges of flat bones
What are the four regions of bone?
spongy layer, compact bone, cartilage, and bone marrow
What is the inner layer of the human bone called?
Spongy inner layer called cancellous bone. Spongy bone is lighter and less dense than compact bone
