It contains red bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. Compact bone is dense and hard, forming the outer layer of bones. It provides strength and protection to the bone.
What kind of tissue is in cartilage?
Cartilage is made up of specialized cells called chondrocytes embedded in an extracellular matrix composed of collagen fibers, proteoglycans, and water. This matrix gives cartilage its firm yet flexible structure, allowing it to provide cushioning and support in various parts of the body.
