The yearning of some transgender persons to express their gender identity with surgical alteration of sex organs suggests, even in their minds, a dependence of gender upon anatomy. Indeed, they often speak in this language: A biological male senses that he is âa woman born in a manâs body,â for example.
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.
There is spongy bone, also called trabecular or cancellous boneLess dense bone with a lattice-like structure. Also called spongy bone. , and compact bone, also called cortical boneDense, strong bone that surrounds trabecular bone tissue. Also called compact bone. (Figure 9.1 The Arrangement of Bone Tissues).t surrounds all trabecular tissue and is the only bone tissue in the shafts of long bones. Figure 9.2. The two basic tissue types of bones are trabecular and cortical. Trabecular (spongy) and cortical (compact) bone tissues differ in their microarchitecture and porosity.
