  • How do trabeculae contribute to bone strength?
    Trabeculae align with the lines of stress to handle weight effectively.
  • What are the small spaces within trabeculae where osteocytes reside called?
    The small spaces are called lacunae.
  • What is the function of canaliculi in trabeculae?
    Canaliculi allow osteocytes to exchange materials.
  • What is another name for spongy bone?

  • How do blood vessels interact with trabeculae in spongy bone?
    Blood vessels wrap through the spongy bone, providing nutrients to bone cells in the trabeculae.
  • What analogy is used to describe the arrangement of trabeculae in spongy bone?
