Bones are made up of different layers•Outer Membrane: thin and tough, it covers all of the bone except the endsBlood vessels and nerves enter and leave the bone through the membrane•Compact Bone: hard and dense but not solidSmall canals carrying blood vessels and nerves from the bone’s surface to the living things within the cell. Blood vessels and nerves run through the compact bone•Spongy Bone: lightweight and strongLocated just inside the compact bone and also found at the ends of the boneLike a sponge, spongy bone has small spaces within it Bone Marrow-soft connective tissue found in the spaces in bone

Two types of bone marrow:•Red marrow-produces blood cells•Yellow marrow-stores fat that serves as an energy reserve
