In the very center of the spongy bone layer is a tissue called Bone Marrow. Bone Marrow is where blood cells are made. Week #7: October 5 - October 9

The lungs are less like balloons and more like spongy tissue created by the alveoli. Week #3: September 8 - September 11

The Lungs are your body's way of obtaining oxygen. Your lungs also help your body remove carbon dioxide. The Blood Vessels are your arteries and veins.
