Why does compact bone have canaliculi, but spongy bone does not?

Biology
1 answer:
stich3 [128]3 years ago
4 0
Canaliculi are tiny canals in bone between osteocytes containing osteocyte cell processes. A spongy bone, also known as a cancellous bone, is a bone with latticelike appearance. A compact bone is a bone that is denser and has fewer spaces than cancellous bone. A compact bone has canaliculi but the spongy bone doesn't, because compact bone tissues form the outer layer of the bone while the cancellous bone tissues form the inner layer of the bone and it does not have osteons. Anosteon is a single central canal, with its contents, and the associated lamellae and osteocytes surrounding it.

Answer:

Multicellular

Explanation:

Unicellular, as the prefix "uni" implies, only have ONE cell. Unicellular organisms can include bacteria, yeast, protists, etc. Multicellular organisms have many cells and are any plant or animal, as they are much larger and complex than unicellular organisms.

As for the second question, the frilled lizard is a perfect example of the ways that organs work together to form necessary organ systems. In the instance of the heart, there are cardiac muscle cells that branch and connect to each other to form cardiac muscle tissue, which has special junctions that cause the cells to contract together and in turn keep the heart pumping and the circulatory system moving.

Does this make sense? Feel free to comment any other questions!! If this explanation helped you, please consider leaving me a good review and/or brainliest!! <3
