What are differences between compact and spongy bone the can be seen with eye?

With the naked eye, compact bone appears dense and solid, while spongy bone has a porous, honeycombed appearance. Compact bone is also harder and more rigid than spongy bone, which is more flexible and shock-absorbing. Additionally, compact bone contains fewer blood vessels than spongy bone, which contributes to its higher density.
