Spongy (cancellous) bone is lighter and less dense than compact bone. Spongy bone consists of plates (trabeculae) and bars of bone adjacent to small, irregular cavities that contain red bone marrow. The canaliculi connect to the adjacent cavities, instead of a central haversian canal, to receive their blood supply.
Structure of Cancellous Bone. Cancellous bone is also known as spongy bone, because it resembles a sponge or honeycomb with many open spaces connected by flat planes of bone known as trabeculae. Inside the trabeculae are three types of bone cells: osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts.Osteoblasts are the cells that make new bone.n your body, you have only two types of bone tissue: cortical and cancellous bone. In this lesson, we will learn about the structure and function of cancellous bone, which plays a crucial role in producing blood cells and stem cells and is the primary tissue affected by osteoporosis.
