Osteocytes are large multinucleated cells located on bony surfaces.
False
Compact bone is primarily found in the epiphysis of long bones.
False
Haversian canals run longitudinally within the compact bone.
True
Osteogenic cells give rise to osteoblasts in the periosteum only.
False
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption.
True
Spongy bone is hard because it is made up of adipose tissue.
