What has the author R Bruce Martin written?
R. Bruce Martin has written: 'Structure, function, and adaptation of compact bone' -- subject(s): Physiology, Compact bone, Bone and Bones
What is the function of a compact bone?
up and down
Do flat bones consist of compact bone sandwiched between spongy bone?
The compact bone surrounds the spongy bone and provides structure for the body.
How does the structure of spongy bone follow its function?
Spongy bone is porous and constructed of loosely connected structures. The spongy bones allows for the development of bone marrow. The main function of bone marrow is to produce blood cells.
How does the structure of SPONGY-BONE follow its function?
Spongy bone is porous and constructed of loosely connected structures. The spongy bones allows for the development of bone marrow. The main function of bone marrow is to produce blood cells.

What is the strong hard layer under periosteum?
The strong hard layer beneath the periosteum is called the compact bone. It is dense and provides strength and support to the bone structure.
The structure of bone tissue suits the function Which of the following bone tissues is adapted to support weight and withstand tension stress?
Compact bone tissue is adapted to support weight and withstand tension stress due to its dense structure and arrangement of osteons. These osteons are aligned in the direction of stress to provide strength and stability to the bone. This compact arrangement makes it ideal for weight-bearing and resisting tension.
In which direction is compact bone most susceptible to force?
Compact bones can withstand huge amounts of vertical force. When compact is exposed to horizontal force it can break easily. Compact bone however is very intriguing and resilient in its function.
Function of compact bone?
The compact bone, or commonly known as cortical bone, facilitates bone's main functions: to support the body, protect organs, provide levers for movement, and store and release chemical elements, mainly calcium
How is the structure of compact bone and spongy bone relate to the function of a bone such as your femur?
The structure of compact bone provides strength and support, allowing the femur to withstand the forces exerted during weight-bearing activities like walking and running. It is dense and forms the outer layer of the bone, facilitating load distribution. In contrast, spongy bone, located at the ends of the femur, has a porous structure that reduces weight while still providing structural integrity, enabling flexibility and shock absorption. Together, these bone types ensure the femur is both strong and lightweight, essential for its role in movement and load bearing.
What part of the bone is hard and dense?
compact bone. yah buddy!
