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.
Another difference between compact and spongy bone tissues is that while blood surrounds spongy bone tissues, it is marrow that surrounds bone in case of compact bone tissues. It is in the compact bone tissues that bone marrow is found, which is a yellow colored fluid.In brief: large portion of a bone is comprised of this compact bone tissue (nearly 80%). It is also called dense bone because of its low porosity. It is in the interior side of the bone that we find spongy or cancellous tissues. This is almost porous network of structures having shapes of rods and plates.
