What are the living bone cells?

The living bone cells are osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that maintain bone tissue, osteoblasts are responsible for building new bone, and osteoclasts break down and resorb bone tissue.


What is the main difference between the outside and inside of bone?

The outside of bone is hard and dense, composed of compact bone tissue that provides strength and protection. The inside of bone is less dense and contains bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells and storing fat.


What are the spongy porous bone tissue called?

Spongy bone tissue is not as highly arranged as compact bone tissue because it doesn't do as much of the weight supporting function as compact bone. Its tissue is arranged in a sponge-like pattern of bony plates called trabeculae. The spaces between these trabeculae are filled with bone marrow which is where our blood cells are made. Spongy bone makes up most of the tissue of flat, short, and irregularly shaped bones.


Type of bone tissue that contains marrow?

There are 2 types of bone tissue: Spongy or cancellous bone (head of most large bones, ribs, shoulder blade) and Compact (in the diaphysis or middle part of large bones). Compact bone forms the extremely hard exterior while spongy bone (also called cancellous bone) fills the hollow interior. Within the inside of the long bones is bone marrow.

Where in the body can the bone cell be found?

Bone cells, which are found within the bone tissue, are responsible for the make-up of the skeleton of vertebrates. There are different types of bone tissue in a bone that are made up of different bone cells: there is the compact tissue which is the hard outer part of the bone, the cancellous tissue which is all the spongy tissue inside of the compact tissue, and the subchondral tissue which is the smooth tissue at the end of each bone. Bone cells all work together inside of the bones to help keep up the skeletal system. The bone cells do many things for the skeletal system such as the development of new bones, the maintenance of bones, and the regulation of minerals in the body.
