Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that osseous tissue refers to the tissue that makes up bones.
Recognize that there are two main types of osseous tissue: compact bone and spongy bone.
Compact bone, also known as cortical bone, is dense and forms the outer layer of bones, providing strength and support.
Spongy bone, also known as cancellous or trabecular bone, is found inside bones and has a porous, honeycomb-like structure that helps reduce the weight of the bone while maintaining strength.
Identify that the options provided in the problem do not correctly list the two types of osseous tissue, which are compact bone and spongy bone.
