Cancellous bone, also known as trabecular or spongy bone, contains red bone marrow, which is involved in the production of blood cells. This type of bone features a network of trabeculae that create a porous structure, allowing for the storage of marrow. In contrast, compact bone is denser and primarily serves as a structural support, lacking the same extensive marrow spaces found in cancellous bone.
What else can I help you with?
Is the compact bone another name for cancellous bone?
No cancellous bone is also known as spongy bone
Which type of bone tissue significantly degenerates first in osteoporosis?
Spongy (or cancellous) bone is significantly degenerated by osteoporosis.
What is cancellous tissue?
Cancellous bone makes up about 20 percent of the human skeleton, providing structural support and flexibility without the weight of compact bone. It is found in most areas of bone that are not subject to great mechanical stress
Which one is found in a compact bone but not in a spongy bone?
Haversian systems (osteons) are found in compact bone but not in spongy bone. These structures consist of concentric layers of bone tissue surrounding a central Haversian canal containing blood vessels and nerves.
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.
What are two names of bone tissues?
Compact Bone, makes up the dense material in a long section of a bone. Cancellous bone, is found in the end regions of long bones and hs plates of bone interspersed with bone marrow.
Is compact bone located in the diaphysis or the epiphyses?
Compact bone is dense and solid in appearance and cancellous bone is characterized by open space partially filled with needle-like structures. Compact bone is found in the main shaft of long bones called the diaphysis. Its' function is to provide strong support without cumbersome weight.
Is the diaphysis of a long bone composed of a spongy bone?
No, the diaphysis of a long bone is primarily composed of compact bone, not spongy bone. The compact bone surrounding the central medullary cavity provides strength and support to the bone, while spongy bone is typically found at the ends of long bones.
What is in the middle of a long bone?
A long bone consists of: Periosteum, articular cartilage, medullary cavity, endosteum, cancellous bone, blood vessels, and compact bone.
What makes up the interior of the epiphysis of the long bone?
Cancellous or spongy bone.
What is the inner layer of the human bone called?
Spongy inner layer called cancellous bone. Spongy bone is lighter and less dense than compact bone
What Tissue is present in long bone?
Long bones contain compact bone tissue on the outer layer and spongy bone tissue on the inner layer. Compact bone provides strength and support, while spongy bone helps to reduce the bone's weight without compromising its strength.
