Accepted Answer

Cancellous bone, also known as spongy bone, refers to the porous tissue found at the ends of long bones and inside flat bones. It contains trabeculae, or small, needle-like pieces of bone, that create a network of spaces filled with bone marrow. This structure allows for flexibility and shock absorption in the bone.
