What is the histology of spongy bone?
Spongy bone is the tissue that makes up the interior of bones; compact bone is the tissue that forms the surface of bones. In long bones, spongy bone forms the interior of the epiphyses; the diaphysis (shaft) consists of compact bone surrounding the central marrow cavity. Spongy bone can also be found in the rib slide (21). It contains large marrow spaces defined by shelves and spicules of bone. The inner space is lined by osteoblasts and osteoclasts (called the endosteum). Osteocytes can be seen in layers in adult spongy bone. Outside all of bone, is a connective tissue sheath called the periosteum. It contains inner layers of osteogenic cells that can give rise to osteoblasts and make new bone,.
What does the compactbone do?
Compact bone provides strength and support to bones due to its dense nature. It makes up the outer layer of most bones and protects the inner spongy bone tissue. Compact bone also contains channels for blood vessels and nerves to pass through, supporting the bone's metabolic needs.
Layer of bone tissue having many small spaces and found just inside the layer of compact bone?
The layer of bone tissue you are referring to is spongy bone. It is made up of trabeculae, which are spiky structures that create open spaces filled with bone marrow. Spongy bone is important for providing structural support and flexibility to bones.
What are the 5 types of joint in the skeletal system?
Long bones -- Femur, radiusShort bones -- wrists, etc.Flat -- SkullSesamoid -- patellaIrregular -- vertebraesesamoid bones, flat bones, long bones, short bones, and irregular bones
Where is the spongy layer located?
The spongy layer is located beneath the upper epidermis in the mesophyll tissue of plant leaves. It is made up of loosely packed cells with air spaces between them, allowing for gas exchange and photosynthesis to occur more efficiently.
Do flat bones consist of compact bones sandwiched between spongy bones?
No. Flat bones consist of spongy bone sandwiched between compact bone.
Are bones lightweight because of spongy or compact bone?
Spongy
What is between the two bones?
spongy and compact
Do flat bones consist of compact bone sandwiched between spongy bone?
The compact bone surrounds the spongy bone and provides structure for the body.
Are compact bones the outside of the bone?
Yes compact is on the outside while spongy is on the inside.
Do all compact bones contain spongy and compact bone tissue?
Yes, all compact bones contain both spongy and compact bone tissue. The outer layer of compact bone provides strength and protection, while the inner spongy bone contains bone marrow and provides flexibility.
What are the compositions of the bones?
compact bone tissue and spongy bone tissue
What kind of tissue makes up the bones?
spongy and compact bone
What are the two types of bone?
The two types of bone are compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bones, providing strength and protection. Spongy bone is less dense and found inside bones, providing structural support and flexibility.
What are the three layers of bones?
bone marrow compact bone spongy bone
Compare compact and spongy bone in macroscopic appearance structure and relative location?
Compact Bone in macroscopic appearance looks solid and dense. Spongy bone in macroscopic appearance looks poorly organized. compact bone in microscopic structure is riddled with passage ways that serve as conduits for nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. Spongy bone is microscopic structure; the trabaculae in spongy bone align precisely along lines of stress and help the bone resist stress as much as possible. Location of compact bone in the outer layer of short, flat and irregular bones and also in the diaphysis of long bones. Spongy bone location; in the inside of short, flat and irregular bones and also in the epihyses of long bones.
Why do bones need a compact bone?
so they can cover the spongy bone and to lift the weight of the body
