question
spongy bone is found primarily at which part of long bones?
answer
axis of the diaphysis
bone surfaces, except inside joint capsules
expanded ends, where long bones articulate with other skeletal elements
exterior region of the bone - shaft, where it withstands forces applied at either end
i dont know yet
Spongy bone is primarily located at the expanded ends of long bones, where long - bones articulate with other skeletal elements. These ends are called epiphyses and spongy bone provides strength while being lighter than compact bone, which is suitable for areas of bone that experience variable stress and need to support the articulation process.
