Why do people have spongy bone and compact bone?
Compact bone and spongy bone both perform different functions. Compact bone forms the outer tissue of bone. It forms the walls of the diaphysis of long bones and part of the epiphyses. It is vascularized tissue that accepts nourishment from the blood vessels. Spongy bone is located in the spaces that fill with bone marrow (central marrow cavity) in long bones (interior of the epiphyses) and adds strength to bone with minimal weight.
What bone is full of holes?
Spongy Bone.
Do all compact bones contain spongy and compact bone tissue?
Maybe a little, but most red bone marrow is foundin the SPONGY bone of the skull,ribs,sternum, vertebrae and in the end of long bones.
Which bone would contain significant amounts of red bone marrow in an adult?
Red bone marrow, which produces blood cells, is found in the spongy bone of long bones, such as the femur.
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.
Where is the spongy layer located?
they are exactly spongy bones but spongy bone cells wich are located in long bones.
Where is Spongy bone in a long bone?
It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis
Where is spongy bone located in the bone?
it is located mainly in the proximal and distal epiphysis (the ends of a bone.)
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.
What are differences between compact and spongy bone the can be seen with the eye?
Spongy bone can appear yellow because it has some fat in it, and it is possible to see small holes in spongy bone. Also, spongy bone is not long (like the wrist). Compact bone is usually long (like a femur) and white.

What is the expanded region of a long bone consisting of spongy bone called?
Long bones mostly consist of compact bone, but the region that does consist of spongy bone is called the epiphysis. There is a proximal epiphysis and a distal epiphysis. The region consisting of the compact bone is diaphysis.
