Spongy Bone

A spongy bone is so spongy because, the spongy bone has many open spaces and contains bone marrow. But, spongy bone is know to be lightweight and very strong.


It also contains trabeculae which allow for the "gaps" in the bone and allow it "give." It is also the only place where red marrow is found in adults.
