The spongy inner tissue of a bone is called tissue?

The spongy inner tissue of a bone is called trabecular or cancellous bone tissue. It is less dense than compact bone tissue and contains a network of bony trabeculae that provide structural support and help in bone marrow production.


What are two kinds of bone tissue?

Two types of bone tissue are compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone functions as the basic supporting tissue of the body. Spongy bone's function , meanwhile, is to make up most of the short, flat, and irregular bones in your body. It also makes up the ends of long bones.


Does bone remodeling affect both compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue?

Yes, bone remodeling affects both compact and spongy bone tissues. It involves the removal of old bone by osteoclasts and the formation of new bone by osteoblasts, leading to changes in bone structure and density. The process helps maintain bone strength and repair microdamage.


Do all compact bones contain spongy and compact bone tissue?

Yes, all compact bones contain both spongy and compact bone tissue. The outer layer of compact bone provides strength and protection, while the inner spongy bone contains bone marrow and provides flexibility.


What type of bone tissue makes up the majority of the vertebral body?

The majority of the vertebral body is composed of trabecular bone tissue, also known as cancellous or spongy bone. This type of bone tissue has a porous structure with a network of trabeculae that provide strength while minimizing weight.
