The matrix of bone tissue is considered to be a composite because it has cell types capable of bone deposition and bone resorption. it consists of two different types of structural material: protein fibers and mineral salts. it consists of two different types of bone: compact and spongy. it arises from two different types of connective tissue.

Please Compact and spongy bone have the same cells and extracellular matrix, but differ in the 3D arrangement of tissue and blood vessels. In compact bone, osteocytes are arranged in three types of layers (lamellae) and nourished through three types of canals (highways for blood vessels). In contrast, in spongy bone, lamellae are often not present, and blood vessels travel between trabeculae, rather than through bony canals. Compact bone Spongy bone Match each compact or bony structure with its description: You may use answers more than once:
