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.ecause osteoclasts live on the surface of bone tissue and cancellous bone has a much larger surface area than cortical bone, it is the primary bone tissue affected by osteoporosis. In healthy people, bone is constantly being remodeled as osteoclasts break down old, damaged bone and osteoblasts replace it.
