Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spongy bone is characterized by its porous, trabecular structure (1), which is arranged along lines of stress to maintain strength while being lightweight (5,7). The gaps within this structure are filled with marrow (6), and though it lacks osteons, it does contain lamellae, osteocytes, lacunae, and canaliculi (9), distinguishing it from compact bone which has a more solid, dense structure with central canals.
