What does the inner layer of bone tissue feel like?
The inner layer of bone tissue, known as the trabecular or spongy bone, has a porous and lightweight structure. It feels less dense than the outer layer, which is compact bone, and is often softer and more flexible. This spongy texture helps to absorb shock and distribute weight, contributing to the overall resilience of bones. In terms of sensation, it is not typically felt directly, as bone is encased in other tissues and structures.

How porous is the skull?
The skull is not highly porous like some other bones in the body; it has a dense outer layer called the cortical bone, which provides strength and protection. However, the inner layer, known as trabecular or cancellous bone, contains small spaces that can be considered porous. While the skull does have some degree of porosity, it is primarily designed to protect the brain and maintain structural integrity. Overall, the porosity of the skull is relatively low compared to other bones.

The cortical bone also plays a role in the storage of minerals, particularly calcium and phosphate.
