Cancellous bone (or trabecular bone, or spongy bone) is a spongy type of bone with a very high surface area, found at the ends of long bones. The spongy bone contains red bone marrow where hematopoiesis, the production of blood cellular components, takes place. The cancellous is the place where most of the arteries and veins of the bone are found.
