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.
It is also found in the epiphyseal plate between the end of the bone (epiphysis) and the long, cylindrical body of the bone (diaphysis.) This structure allows for bone growth. As the individual matures and bone growth ceases, this structure becomes replaced with bone and becomes the epiphyseal line.2.
