Question 8 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Which of the following best describes the features of compact bone tissue?

Answer
A
soft and spongy
B
forms a hard shell around bones
C
found in ten percent of bones
D
has a cubelike structure

Explanation

Compact bone is dense and strong, forming the hard outer layer or shell of bones. Spongy bone, by contrast, is softer and porous, so A does not describe compact bone. Compact bone is found in most bones, not just ten percent, and it is not cubelike.
