There are three special types of cells that are found only in the bone. These cell names all start with OSTEO because that is the Greek word for bone. OSTEOCLASTS are large cells that dissolve the bone. They come from the bone marrow and are related to white blood cells.
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.It is very porous and contains red bone marrow, where blood cells are made. It is weaker and easier to fracture than cortical bone, which makes up the shafts of long bones.t the ends of the long bones, cortical bone gives way to cancellous bone. Cancellous bone is also found in the pelvic bones, and in the ribs and vertebrae. In total, cancellous bone makes up about 20% of the typical adult human skeleton. Cancellous bone is much more porous, and therefore weaker than cortical bone.
