9. In relating the form to its function, which of the following correctly explains why spongy bone is found in the epiphyses of a long bone? a. Spongy bone does not contain nervous tissue so it reduces pain within the joint b. Spongy bone contains dense cartilage that resists compression within the joint c. Spongy bone contains red bone marrow which is protected within the joint d. Spongy bone contains trabeculae that allow it to resist multidirectional forces applied at the joint e. Spongy bone is compressible so it is able to cushion forces applied at the joint f Spongy bone does not contain blood vessels so any joint damage does not bleed.
