A TS (transverse section) of bone will display concentric rings of bone tissue called lamellae surrounding a Haversian canal. These lamellae will contain osteocytes in lacunae connected by tiny canaliculi. Additionally, you may see circumferential lamellae at the outer and inner surfaces of the bone.
How does the structure of the bone make them both strong and lightweight?
Bones are made up of a matrix of collagen fibers and calcium crystals, which provide both flexibility and strength. The hollow structure of bones, filled with marrow, also contributes to their lightweight nature. Additionally, the arrangement of compact and spongy bone tissues distributes forces and enhances the bone's ability to withstand compression and tension.

What differences with compact bone and spongy bone can be seen with the naked eye?
As the names suggest, compact bone is solid-looking, and forms the outer layers of all bone (and the shafts in long bones). Spongy bone looks like sponge, with small holes, and is found on the inside of bones and the expanded heads of long bones. As the names suggest, spongy bone is softer than the solid, compact bone. With the naked eye, you can see that the compact bone is smooth and located around the outside of a cross-section of bone. Spongy bone, on the other hand, is located on the inside and is very porous, like a sponge.
