Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spongy bones have a higher density of blood vessels and can produce red blood cells, also known as hematopoiesis. Compact bones, on the other hand, are dense and do not have as many blood vessels, making them unsuitable for hematopoiesis. Cartilaginous, fibrous, and synovial are not types of bone structures but rather describe different types of joints or connective tissues.
