Answer 2

Spongy Skeleton

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertebrae bodies are made of a spongy form of bone called cancellous bone. They are covered in cortical bone, which is denser, harder bone.

Spongy bone is usually located at the ends of the long bones (the epiphyses), with the harder compact bone surrounding it. It is also found inside the vertebrae, in the ribs, in the skull and in the bones of the joints.
