Flat bones, like those of the cranium, consist of a layer ofdiploë(spongy bone), lined on either side by a layer of compact bone (Figure 3). The two layers of compact bone and the interior spongy bone work together to protect the internal organs. If the outer layer of a cranial bo...
Surrounding the compact bone is spongy bone, which has lots of small cavities dispersed throughout it. The neck and head of the femur are made up of spongy bone. Function The femur supports the weight of the body on the leg. All other leg bones are attached to the bottom portion of...

The inner ear, known since the time of Galen (2nd century CE) as the labyrinth, is a complicated system of fluid-filled passages and cavities located deep within the rock-hard petrous portion of the temporal bone. It consists of two functional units: the vestibular apparatus, consisting of ...
The patella, also called the knee cap, is a sesamoid bone. Carpals (in the hand) and tarsals (in the feet) are examples of short bones. 7. Long Bones Have Three Main Parts to Them The outside of a long bone consists of a layer of compact bone surrounding spongy bone. Inside a ...

A more triangular pubic arch may hang quite low, giving a fundal height reading higher than the compact bump may seem to justify. Closely-set, small buttock “muscles” of the android make small roundish or triangular cheeks to her “bottom.” The pelvis with a 2 finger arch, rather than...
Sternum Definition and Function The sternum or breastbone is a vertical flat bone lying at the anterior middle part of the chest. Externally, it is made up of compact bone. Inside of it is a cancellous or spongy tissue that is entirely vascular. The adul
Bone Marrow Location and Anatomy The outside layer of bone is the compact bone. Compact bones are strong; they support and protect the inside of bones and what organs the bone surrounds, such as the brain, heart, or lungs. Compact bone, however, does not contain bone marrow....
