Compact bone, also known as cortical bone, is a dense and strong type of bone tissue that forms the outer layer of bones. It provides structural support, protection, and strength, facilitating the bone's ability to withstand stresses and strains. Compact bone is composed of tightly packed osteons, or Haversian systems, which contain blood vessels, nerves, and bone cells. This organized structure allows for efficient nutrient delivery and waste removal, contributing to overall bone health.

Does spongy bone or compact bone provide most of the strength to the bone?
Compact bone.
What type of bone makes up the shaft of a long bone?
bone marrow is in the center of the bone shaft
Is the compact bone spongy?
Actually the compact bone isn't spongy at all, the compact bone is a tough layer making the bone neither too rigid or too brittle. So the compact bone is not spongy. Spongy bone, like its name is spongy.
What does spongy bone lack that compact bone has?
Spongy bone has holes in it that make it strong, but compact bone doesn't have any holes in it.
Do flat bones consist of compact bone sandwiched between spongy bone?
The compact bone surrounds the spongy bone and provides structure for the body.
What is the weight of the compact bone?
The weight of compact bone can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and individual differences. On average, compact bone tissue comprises about 80% of the weight of the human skeleton. The weight of a compact bone can range from a few grams to several kilograms.

What is the strong hard layer under periosteum?
The strong hard layer beneath the periosteum is called the compact bone. It is dense and provides strength and support to the bone structure.
Which bone tissue adapted to support weight and withstand tension stress?
The type of bone tissue that gives a bone its strength is called cortical or compact bone tissue. This type of bone tissue is dense and forms the outer layer of most bones in the body, providing strength, support, and protection. Cortical bone tissue contains mineralized collagen fibers that are arranged in a parallel fashion, giving the bone its characteristic strength and resistance to bending or breaking.
