Except for the hardest sections of compact bone, bones are living tissue, and so must be provided with oxygen and the materials to maintain or repair themselves. The interior of most bones are an open framework of spongy tissue called trabecular or cancellous bone. In the outer bone, the Haversian Canals form conduits for nerves and blood vessels.
