Question

what is the difference between compact bone and spongy bone?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Whereas compact bone tissue forms the outer layer of all bones, spongy bone or cancellous bone forms the inner layer of all bones. Spongy bone tissue does not contain osteons that constitute compact bone tissue. Instead, it consists of trabeculae, which are lamellae that are arranged as rods or plates.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Compact bone has more bone matrix and less space due to osteons. Spongy bones have less bone matrix and more space due to trabeculae. ... Medullary cavity contains yellow bone marrow, and the spaces of the spongy bone contain red bone marrow.
