Compact bone is dense and does not contain many spaces (unlike spongy bone). It has a concentric-ring structure. Compact bone consists of osteons which contains blood vessels and Volkmann's canals (which also hold blood vessels and nerves but run perpendicular to the osteons).

What is the difference between endosteum and compact bone?
Endosteum is a thin membrane that lines the inner surface of bones and contains bone-forming cells, while compact bone is a dense and hard outer layer of bone that provides strength and support. Compact bone is composed of tightly packed osteons, which are the structural units of bone tissue, while endosteum is involved in bone remodeling and repair processes.
What parts of the bone were visible under the microscope?

Is compact bone located in the diaphysis or in 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.
The tissue type composed of haversian systems?
The tissue type composed of Haversian systems is called compact bone or cortical bone. It is a dense, hard tissue that provides strength and support to the skeletal system. Haversian systems, also known as osteons, are repeating units within compact bone that contain concentric layers of mineralized bone tissue surrounding a central canal with blood vessels and nerves.
Which type of tissue contains the haversian systems?
No it doesn't. Haversian systems are only found in compact/cortical bone.
What part of the bone is hard and dense?
compact bone. yah buddy!
Does spongy bone or compact bone provide most of the strength to the bone?
Compact bone.
How does compact bone differ from spongy bone?
Although compact bone looks hard and solid, a microscope reveals that it is riddled with passageways that serve as conduits for nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels. Spongy bone looks like a poorly organized tissue. Spongy bone looks like Swiss cheese with the many holes presented.
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 does the compact bone contribute to the bone?

What kind of bone that makes a bone hard?
Compact bone.
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.
