Spongy bone. Definition. noun. (1) The osseous tissue that fills the interior or cavity of bones with a latticework of small spicules or flat pieces of mineralized bars (trabeculae) and interstices containing bone marrow or fat.(2) The tissue inside of bones that resembles a sponge or a honeycomb with spaces containing bone marrow or fat.Supplement. This type of osseous tissue lies subjacent to the compact bone, and is made distinct by its spongy structure. It is found at the ends of long bones and in the vertebrae.It has low density and strength but has high surface area that allows room for blood vessels and marrow.his type of osseous tissue lies subjacent to the compact bone, and is made distinct by its spongy structure. It is found at the ends of long bones and in the vertebrae. It has low density and strength but has high surface area that allows room for blood vessels and marrow.
Spongy bone is lighter, softer, and weaker than compact or cortical bone, the other type of calcium tissue, but it has a greater surface area and is much more vascular, or supplied with blood vessels. Spongy bone is found on the inside of some bones, and it is surrounded by the stronger, more protective compact bone.he bone marrow fills up the open spaces between the trabeculae. While the spongy bone tissue itself does not contain blood vessels, the surrounding marrow is full of capillaries, and helps transfer nutrients and other metabolic products from the blood to the bone tissue.
