Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compact bone forms the dense outer layer of all bones, including the shaft of long bones. Spongy bone, on the other hand, forms the inner layer and is made up of a lattice-like structure with spaces filled with bone marrow. Hyaline bone does not exist, as it is not a recognized type of bone tissue. Synovial bone is also not a recognized type of bone, as synovial joints are the spaces between bones where movement occurs. Hard bone is not a commonly used term to describe bone tissue.
