Introduction[edit | edit source]
Bones are divided into two macroscopic forms: cancellous bones and cortical bones. Cortical bones make up most of the skeletal system (up to 80%), while the rest is cancellous bones (roughly 20%).[1]
Lamellae Difference: The extracellular matrix of bone is composed mainly of type 1 collagen, these fibers adopting a preferential orientation in the human skeleton, resulting in the formation of lamellar bone (a thin layer of bone).
- In cortical bone, these lamellae are arranged concentrically around the Haversian systems
- In cancellous bone, they are parallel to one another.[2]
Cancellous Bone[edit | edit source]

Cancellous bone is located in the medullary cavity of bone of tubular and short bones. It consists of dense trabeculae (struts), that traverse the bone marrow-filled medullary cavity, and are geometrically arranged to withstand local forces transmitted through the bone and are modifiable. Also known as spongy or trabeculae bone.
- This bone has high porosity (> 70–80%) with more space than compact bone. The high surface area facilitates cancellous bone which have a higher metabolic activity compared to cortical bone, eg bone cell production and mineral exchange is higher in trabecular bone compared to cortical bone.[2]
- The bone marrow of cancellous bones produces red blood corpuscles and white granular corpuscles.[3]
- Although cortical bone is thought to bear the majority of the load in an individual bone, cancellous bone does contribute and serves to load share stresses out to the cortex.[4]
- Microscopically it is identical to cortical bone.[1]
Cortical Bone[edit | edit source]
Cortical bone forms a protective layer around the internal cavity. Cortical bones high resistance to bending and torsion, making them able to bear the weight of the body. Also known as compact bone.
The key function of a cortical bone is in providing strength and protection to bones. Cortical bone is fairly smooth in comparison to a cancellous bone. The structure of the cortical bone consists of many layers.
- The most outside layer of the cortical bone is the periosteum, a two-layered structure. It serves to protects the nerves and blood vessels that run through the cortical bone. The interior layer of the periosteum consists of osteoblasts, which synthesize bone matrix.
- A bone marrow cavity is located in the centre of cortical bones, which stores fat.[3]
