Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compact bone is dense and strong, making it well-suited to support weight and withstand torsion stresses. Trabecular bone (also known as spongy bone) has a more porous structure, which makes it better for shock absorption but not as suited to support weight and withstand stress. Irregular bone refers to bones with complex shapes and does not necessarily have a specific tissue structure.
