Cancellous bone, also known as spongy or trabecular bone, is one of the two types of bone tissue found in the human body. Cancellous bone is found at the ends of long bones, as well as in the pelvic bones, ribs, skull, and the vertebrae in the spinal column.ancellous bone is also known as spongy bone, because it resembles a sponge or honeycomb with many open spaces connected by flat planes of bone known as trabeculae. Inside the trabeculae are three types of bone cells: osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts.
