What is the porous inner part of the bone?
the porous inner part of the bone is the SPONGY BONE
What is spongy bone also called?
spongey bone is flexible but can break very easily. Isnt science fascinating.
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.
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called?
The porous bone found in the ends of long bones is called spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone. It is less dense than compact bone and has a honeycomb-like structure that provides support while allowing flexibility. Spongy bone contains bone marrow, where blood cells are produced.
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 a spongy bone called?
A spongy bone is also called a cancellous bone or trabecular bone..
What does spongy bone tissue lack?
Spongy bone tissue lacks Haversian canals, which are found in compact bone tissue. These canals are responsible for carrying blood vessels and nerves through the bone. Spongy bone also lacks a dense arrangement of bone cells, giving it a more porous and lightweight structure.
What are the spongy porous bone tissue called?
Spongy bone tissue is not as highly arranged as compact bone tissue because it doesn't do as much of the weight supporting function as compact bone. Its tissue is arranged in a sponge-like pattern of bony plates called trabeculae. The spaces between these trabeculae are filled with bone marrow which is where our blood cells are made. Spongy bone makes up most of the tissue of flat, short, and irregularly shaped bones.
Another name for spongy bone is this?
Cancellous bone. It is the less dense and more porous type of bone tissue found in the interior of bones.
Does spongy bone genrally have central canals?
No, the canals are present in the compact bone (surrounds the spongy bone) and are called Haversian canals.
