“That bump is a normal part of bone healing at this stage. As your body completes the process, the cells in your bone will gradually remodel it to its previous shape.”

Q

You overhear some anatomy students imagining out loud what their bones would look like if they had compact bone on the inside and spongy bone on the outside, instead of the other way around. You tell them that such imaginary bones would be poorly designed mechanically and would break easily. Which of the following statements does NOT accurately support your claim?
A. An outer layer of spongy bone would be constantly damaged by the bending and twisting forces applied to the surface of bone.
B. Compact bone consists of osteons, which are made up of concentric lamellae with an alternating pattern of collagen fibers designed to resist torsional stress.
