How are nutrients brought to the spongy bone?

Nutrients are delivered to spongy bone primarily through the blood supply from the bone's vascular system. The bone marrow, which is found within the spongy bone, contains blood vessels that supply oxygen and essential nutrients. Additionally, small canals called canaliculi connect osteocytes (bone cells) to blood vessels, facilitating nutrient exchange and waste removal. This network ensures that the spongy bone remains healthy and functional.
