GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Spongy bone consists of plates (trabeculae) and bars of bone adjacent to small, irregular cavities that contain red bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-2: -cancellous bone, also called trabecular bone or spongy bone, light, porous bone enclosing numerous large spaces that give a honeycombed or spongy appearance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spongy bone is usually located at the ends of the long bones (the epiphyses), with the harder compact bone surrounding it. It is also found inside the vertebrae, in the ribs, in the skull and in the bones of the joints.

Detailed explanation-4: -Trabecular bone The spongy-looking porous interior part of the bones (mainly vertebra and at the end of long bones) is called trabecular or cancellous bone. It has a greater surface area than cortical bone and is more actively remodelled.
