Cancellous Bone

The other name for Cancellous Bone is referred to as the trabecular bone or spongy bone type. This is a bone with a high surface area and the bone is less of dense and more of soft and weak. This bone is usually there at the proximal joint and it is found within the interior of the vertebrae. This bone is immensely vascular and its major anatomical and functional unit is the trabecula.As the Cancellous Bone is soft it cannot withstand heavy injury. This is the reason why it can get damaged quite easily. So it is important that you stay careful and maintain the basic structure of the bone.
