What is the main difference between spongy bone and compact bone? Compact bones contain osteons; spongy bones contain trabeculae.
Compact bones contain osteons; spongy bones contain trabeculae. Compact bone forms the epiphyses; spongy bone forms the diaphysis. Compact bone makes up the entire mass of long bones; spongy bone makes up the entire mass of flat bones. Compact bone is weaker than spongy bone.

Balance body temperature Produce bone movement Contraction of the heart Maintain body posture
The binding of the neurotransmitter to receptors on the motor end plate causes which of the following to occur?
