Spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone, is less dense than compact bone and is composed of a honeycomb-like network of bones called trabeculae. Spongy bone actually looks like a sponge. It is found at the expanded heads of long bones, such as bones of the arms, legs, fingers and toes and also in the ribs. Spongy bone also fills most irregular bones, such as bones of the skull, vertebrae and hips. Blood vessels run throughout the substance and marrow fills the spaces between the tissues. Spongy bones are designed to bear stress caused by bending or stretching.
