Osteoporosis
The most likely cause of weak and easily broken bones in this person is a decrease in bone density, known as osteoporosis. This condition typically affects the trabecular (spongy) bone tissue within the bones, making them more fragile and susceptible to fractures.
Progressive loss of bone density can lead to osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. It can also result in decreased bone strength and density, increasing the likelihood of other bone-related issues.
The spongy inner tissue of a bone is called trabecular or cancellous bone tissue. It is less dense than compact bone tissue and contains a network of bony trabeculae that provide structural support and help in bone marrow production.
The medical name for abnormal loss of bone tissue is osteoporosis. It is a condition characterized by weakening of the bones, making them more prone to fractures.
Osseous tissue, also known as bone tissue, is the specialized connective tissue that forms bones in the body. It is composed of cells called osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts, as well as a matrix of collagen and mineral salts like calcium. Osseous tissue provides support, protection, and functions in mineral storage and blood cell production.

spongy (bone tissue)
Yes, strangely, milk causes osteoporosis (thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density) which is something you want to prevent.
compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue
Osseous tissue, or bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body. Osseous tissue forms the rigid part of the bone organs
Bone is quite different from nerve tissue. It is not an excitable tissue.
