Inside the Bones of the Body

Check out this picture.  It is a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of cancellous (spongy) bone of the human shin.

Bone tissue is either compact or cancellous. Compact bone usually makes up the exterior of the bone, while cancellous bone is found in the interior.  So basically this is what is on the inside of the "shell" if you will, of the bones of the body.  Basically what bones look like on the inside.

Cancellous bone is characterised by a honeycomb arrangement of trabeculae. These structures help to provide support and strength.

The spaces within this tissue normally contain bone marrow, a blood forming substance.

Looks a lot like fascia doesn't it?
