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.
Spongy (Cancellous) Bone. 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.ompact bone consists of closely packed osteons or haversian systems. The osteon consists of a central canal called the osteonic (haversian) canal, which is surrounded by concentric rings (lamellae) of matrix. Between the rings of matrix, the bone cells (osteocytes) are located in spaces called lacunae.
