medullary cavity
bone tissue that has bone marrow in its spaces. provides bone with strength and lightness. sponge-like.
spongy bone tissue
bone tissue that is solid with no spaces. provides bone with strength and weight.
compact bone tissue

epiphyseal plate
in long bone length growth: cartilage cells on ____ divide and form chondroblasts then new cartilage is made on the ___ while osteoclasts on ___ of plate break down old cartilage and form spongy bone.
