A member asked:
Can you tell me how is spongy and compact bone fed with blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood supply: There are several sources of blood supply to your bones. Long bones have a nutrient artery inside them that feeds them with pressure through haversian canals in a centrifugal supply. This blood supply dominates the blood supply to your bone, but if a fracture disturbs this supply, most of the flow comes through the periosteal lining which is rich in blood supply , through a centripetal supply
