What else can I help you with?
The interconnecting tiny arches of bone tissue found in spongy bone are called?
The interconnecting tiny arches of bone tissue found in spongy bone are called trabeculae. Trabeculae provide structural support and help distribute stress within the bone.
The tiny plates of bone material found in spongy bone are called A interstitial lamellae. B osteons. C concentric lamellae. D lacunae. E trabeculae.?
E. Trabeculae Well, Trabeculae translates to tiny beam or rod whereas trabeculae means tiny plates... and if it is for spongy bone, then that would be A. interstitial lamellae
What is a lightweight porous bone that consists of a network of tiny struts and girders?
Trabecular bone, also known as cancellous or spongy bone, is a lightweight porous bone that consists of a network of interconnected struts and girders. It is found at the ends of long bones and within the vertebrae, providing structural support while allowing for flexibility and shock absorption.
Compact bone has perforating and central canals why isn't a canal system necessary in spongy bones?
Spongy bone is less dense and more porous than compact bone, allowing for nutrient exchange through diffusion. The trabeculae in spongy bone are arranged to support stress, eliminating the need for a canal system like in compact bone, which is more solid and requires specialized channels for nutrient delivery and waste removal.
How is spongy bone and compact bone similar?
Well, all I know is that they are both not completely solid. You might already know that spongy bone isn't solid, but you might not know that compact bone isn't completely solid either, it just looks that way. It has tiny canals running through it.
What makes up the framework of a skeleton?
Bones are composed of two tissue types. Compact, or dense bone, and spongy, or cancellous, bone. Most bones contain both types. Compact bone is dense, hard, and forms the protective exterior portion of all bones. Spongy bone is inside the compact bone and is very porous (full of tiny holes). Spongy bone occurs in most bones. The bone tissue is composed of several types ofbone cells embedded in a web of inorganic salts (mostly calcium and phosphorus) to give the bone strength, and collagenous fibers and ground substance to give the bone flexibility.
What is thickening on the surface of the calcaneus bone?
Thickening on the surface of the calcaneus bone could be caused by conditions such as bone spurs or calcaneal stress fractures. Bone spurs are bony outgrowths that can develop in response to pressure or stress on the bone, while stress fractures are tiny cracks that occur due to repetitive overuse or sudden increase in physical activity. Both conditions may result in thickening of the bone surface.
What are tiny units that make up bone?
The tiny units that make up bone are called osteons.
The tiny bones in the back bone?
yes, and they are really tiny
Is stirup a bone?
Yes, the stirup is a tiny bone in your ear.
What is the hard part of the bone called?
Calcified bones are hard but not really solid. Spongy bone is hard with tiny holes in it. Periosteum is thin but very strong. The other name for it is outer membrane, it helps to rebuild bone cells. The last is cartilage. It is strong material that holds two bones together and allows them to glide over one another. Skull iz also a very strong bone.
What is pituitary of brain?
The pituitary of the brain sits in a tiny bony space called the sella turcica.
