Answer to Question 2

The irregular bones do not have the concentric pattern or strength of compact bones found in long bone shafts. The irregular bones have more of a honey comb structure that shows the effects of thinning more dramatically than compact bone. The bones of the lower back bear a lot of downward and upward forces and may compress if the structure is not dense.
