Bone is not a solid uniform material; it has spaces between the hard elements.

The hard outer layer of the bone is made up of the compact cortical bone tissue that gives bone the hard, white, smooth solid appearance. This is often called 'dense' bone.

The inside of the bone is filled with trabecular bone tissue (cancellous or spongy bone) which has a honeycombed appearance due to its open cell porous network made up of rod and plate elements that give the bone lightness and room for the blood vessels and bone marrow.
