Compact bones are made up of osteons. Osteons are also called Haversian systems. These osteons make the structure of compact bones. These rod-like units form the outer layer of the compact bones at the long bone.These osteons also contain Haversian canals. These canals contain and carry blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and branches of the nerves.
Spongy bones are made up trabeculae. These trabeculae look like thin threads. These are not as heavy as the osteons of the compact bones. The formation of trabeculae always depends on which of these bones were mechanically tensioned.
