What are the main bone textures?

The main bone textures are cortical (or compact) bone, which is dense and forms the outer layer providing strength and support, and trabecular (or cancellous) bone, which is spongy and found within the interior of bones, aiding in shock absorption and reducing weight. Additionally, bone can exhibit varying degrees of porosity and surface features, such as osteons in compact bone and trabeculae in cancellous bone, which contribute to its overall structure and function. These textures allow bones to fulfill their roles in the skeletal system effectively.
