The potential consequences if all bone tissue in humans was comprised of compact bone and there was no spongy bone.
Introduction:
Spongy bone is a light bone. They contain red marrow and don’t give support and strength to the body organs. Compact bone forms the hard structure of the skeleton. They create a hard outer shell of most bones in the body. The remaining bones are spongy bone.
Explanation of Solution
Spongy bone is a weak and light bone present in almost every animal. It contains red bone marrow. Compact bones are hard and they protect these spongy bones. Spongy bones do not give support and strength to the body organs. If all bones tissue in humans comprised of compact bone and there was no spongy bone, then one will not be able to perform the flexible movements done by the body.
