Compact bone makes the bones hard enough so that they can provide support to the body and protect organs. It makes up the hard exterior of skeletal bones.

Spongy bone (cancellous bone) is in shorter, flatter bones, and at the ends of long bones. It has more blood vessels and usually contains bone marrow, where red blood cells are produced.
