System Test

bone:
a.Compact: solid, smooth, dense, has a circular ring structure to it,
center of each ring is a canal called Haversian Canal, Haversian Canal
contains a tiny blood vessel called a capillary that brings blood to bone
cells. This blood contains oxygen and nutrients to all bone cells.
b.Spongy: strong, lightweight, full of holes. Keeps bones from
becoming too heavy, contains Red Marrow which makes your blood cells.
-What type of tissue brings nutrients and oxygen to all body cells
including bone cells? (It’s a liquid tissue).
-Why are bones considered living?
