What type of bone tissue makes up the majority of the vertebral body? describe the structure and function of this type of bone.

Spongy bone tissue makes up the majority of the vertebral body.

Explanation:

Structure:

•Spongy bone tissue, called cancellous bones, is structured by plate-like structures called trabaculae and bars.

•It has small irregular cavities filled with bone marrow, present adjacent to the plates and bars, and are connected to the canaliculi to receive blood supply.

Functions:

•It is less dense and lighter than the compact bone and thus reduces the bone weight .

•The trabaculae can aligns and realigns along the direction of the stress lines and aids the animal to resist and cope with stress .

•Storehouse of bone marrow and takes part in hemopoiesis.

i think its control and coordinate because im pretty sure thats what tissue does and the joints are what control movement and then your skeletal/ bones provides portection. hope that .
