What type of bone is adapted to withstand stress?

Compact bone is adapted to withstand stress. It is the dense, hard outer layer of bone that makes up the shaft (diaphysis) of long bones and the outer surface of flat bones. Compact bone is composed of tightly packed osteons (Haversian systems), which are cylindrical structures that contain a central blood vessel surrounded by concentric layers of bone matrix. The osteons are arranged parallel to the long axis of the bone, providing strength and rigidity.
