Question
why is spongy bone good at resisting forces from multiple directions? a) deposits of calcium and collagen are in the same direction b) small pipes called trabeculae disperse the forces c) circular osteons run parallel to each other d) strong layers of bone called lamellae
Spongy bone has small, rod - like structures called trabeculae that can disperse forces from multiple directions. Calcium and collagen deposits in the same direction would not account for multi - directional force resistance. Circular osteons are more characteristic of compact bone, not spongy bone. Lamellae are also more prominent in compact bone and do not explain spongy bone's multi - directional force resistance.
