Spongy Bone

Spongy bone is a special structure that is found in the bones of some animals and humans and provides their elasticity. It consists of thin, hollow tubules that run parallel to each other on a microscopic scale. Thanks to its spongy structure, the bone becomes more flexible and elastic, which allows it to better withstand stress and not break during falls or impacts.

Spongy substance is important for the musculoskeletal system. In the head area, it forms the temporal bone, with the help of which the jaw muscles are attached, as well as the zygomatic bone, from which the formation of the facial part of the skull begins. In the ribs, the bone plates are connected by a spongy substance, so injuries can cause fractures of the sternum or ribs. In addition, spongy substance is found in human skin, tendons and ligaments.

In case of injuries to body tissues, the development of soft tissue edema plays an important role. It is known that swelling occurs several hours after injury. It is also known
