Do flat bones consist of compact bone sandwiched between spongy bone?
The compact bone surrounds the spongy bone and provides structure for the body.
Is the compact bone spongy?
Actually the compact bone isn't spongy at all, the compact bone is a tough layer making the bone neither too rigid or too brittle. So the compact bone is not spongy. Spongy bone, like its name is spongy.
Which does not belong diploe spongy bone red marrow hematopoiesis yellow marrow?
Diploe does not belong because it refers to the inner layer of flat bones like the skull that contains both spongy and compact bone. Spongy bone, red marrow, hematopoiesis, and yellow marrow are all related to bone structure and function.
Are bones lightweight because of spongy or compact bone?
Spongy
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.
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.

Compare compact and spongy bone in macroscopic appearance structure and relative location?
Compact Bone in macroscopic appearance looks solid and dense. Spongy bone in macroscopic appearance looks poorly organized. compact bone in microscopic structure is riddled with passage ways that serve as conduits for nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. Spongy bone is microscopic structure; the trabaculae in spongy bone align precisely along lines of stress and help the bone resist stress as much as possible. Location of compact bone in the outer layer of short, flat and irregular bones and also in the diaphysis of long bones. Spongy bone location; in the inside of short, flat and irregular bones and also in the epihyses of long bones.

What does spongy bone lack that compact bone has?

How are compact and spongy bone different in blood supply?
Compact bone has a greater blood supply compared to spongy bone. Compact bone contains Haversian systems or osteons, which are densely packed with blood vessels, whereas spongy bone has a more porous structure with fewer blood vessels. This difference in blood supply helps compact bone to support higher mechanical loads and resist fractures more effectively than spongy bone.
