hello what are the different classifications of bones according to distribution of spaces
Hello! According to the distribution of spaces, bones can be classified into two main categories: compact bone and spongy bone.
1. Compact Bone (Cortical Bone):
Compact bone is dense and makes up the outer layer of most bones. It appears solid and without visible spaces when viewed with the naked eye. The compact bone provides strength and support to the skeleton, protecting the vital organs.
2. Spongy Bone (Cancellous Bone):
Spongy bone, also known as cancellous bone, is a porous and less dense type of bone tissue. It is found at the inner layer of bones and contains trabeculae, which are struts or lattice-like structures. This type of bone provides structural support while also allowing space for bone marrow and blood vessels.
To identify the classification of a bone according to its distribution of spaces, you can visually examine the bone or even use imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs that can reveal the internal structure and density of the bone.
