Summary: 1.Compact and spongy bones are the two main types of osseous tissues. 2.Compact bone is also called cortical bone while spongy bone is also called cancellous bone. 3.Compact bones are made of osteons while spongy bones are made of trabeculae.4.Compact bones are tough and heavy while spongy bones are light.pongy bones are also known as cancellous bones. Compact and spongy bones are the two main types of osseous tissues. Compact bones are made up of osteons. Osteons are also called Haversian systems. These osteons make the structure of compact bones.
Cancellous or Spongey Bone. Cancellous or spongey bone is found forming the core of most flat and irregular bones. It is also very prevalent in the epiphyses(ends) of long bones. The construction of this osseous tissue type is quite different than that of compact bone. One key difference is the absence of osteons! Spongey bone as the name implies is more open and in cross-section offers a compartmentalized appearance not unlike that of a sponge.
