lightens the weight of the bone
what is spongy bone important
if the bones wall all compact, the muscles wouldn’t be able to move them b/c they would be too heavy

very sensitive
where pain comes from

short bone (carpal)
flat bone (sternum)
sesamoid bone (patella)
irregular bone (vertebra)
vascular parts of bone
nutrient arteries
periosteal arteries
metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries
nutrient arteries
provide nutrient to bone tissue
periosteal arteries
supplies periosteum
