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,.

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 bone parts can you see in the cross section?
In a cross section of a bone, you can typically see compact bone on the outer surface and spongy bone on the inner surface. Within the spongy bone, you may also observe trabeculae, which are lattice-like structures that help give bone its strength. Additionally, blood vessels, nerves, and bone marrow may be visible in the central cavity of certain bones.
What is the structural unit for the spongy bone?
The structural unit of spongy bone is called a trabecula. Trabeculae are small, rod-like or plate-like structures that form a network within the spongy bone, providing strength and support while reducing weight. They are oriented along lines of stress and are filled with bone marrow and blood vessels, contributing to the overall function of the bone.
