The compact bone is the outer part of the bone, and on the inside is the spongy bone. The spongy bone has small spaces which are filled with red bone marrow and some fat.

Compact bone is replaced more often than spongy bone?

Compact bone is the outer most part of the bone. It's dense, strong and made up of many layers. But bones are not solid all the way through- yellow marrow is found within the hallowed out walls of compact bone. Spongy bone is only found on the ends of bones. Spongy bone isn't really spongy; really it's hard but it has lots of holes- which gives it the appearance of a sponge. Spongy bone is where red marrow is kept. Spongy bone is where blood is made! Fun Fact: the ribs are made completely of spongy bone.
