"The structure of the trabecular, or spongy bone that forms in the interior of bones we studied is unique within dinosaurs," said Tony Fiorillo, SMU paleontologist and one of the study authors.

The outer layer of bone, known as condensed bone, is hard and dense to provide the structure and protection the body needs. However, bones’ inner layer, known as spongy bone, is softer and porous – ...

“The structure of the trabecular, or spongy bone that forms in the interior of (the) bones we studied is unique within dinosaurs,” said Anthony Fiorillo, a Southern Methodist University ...

Lastly, plate-like bones with a "spongy" structure at different points in the skull helped distribute the incoming force, thereby protecting the brain.

Like the other three types of bones, long bones are composed of a combination of compact bone and spongy bone. While compact bone is harder, heavier, and denser (providing the bulk of the bone's ...

Coral, whose porous structure resembles the spongy structure of human bones, has previously been used as a grafting source but it too is in relatively limited natural supply. This new approach ...

They consist of two outer layers of compact bone and an inner layer of spongy bone. The bones of the skull, breastbone, ribs, and shoulder blades are flat bones. They tend to have a protective role.

Komet USA has introduced a new system for bone spreading and condensing. Developed in conjunction with Stefan Neumeyer, D.M.D., of Eschlkam, Germany, the MaxilloPrep Spread-Condense system was ...

The spongy bone's thickness, volume and surface area can tell us a lot about how strong joint bones are. The work also didn’t look at modern human foragers to see if their increased activity ...
