- - - - helps protect internal organs
      - affording multiple anchor points for skeletal muscle attachment
      - maintaining pharynx and trachea support, and tongue attachment
  - - - to protect internal organs such as the brain, heart, and pelvic organs
      - It also provide large areas of attachment for muscles
  - - - protect tendons from stress and wear
      - to modify pressure
      - to diminish friction
      - to alter the direction of a muscle pull
- - - - has two parts
        
        diaphysis : tubular shaft that run between the proximal and distal ends of the bone
        
        epiphysis : end of the bone - filled with spongy bones
      - covered by periosteum (connective tissue)
      - medullary cavity : interior part of the bone
      - metaphysis : between the diaphysis and epiphysis
        
        contains epiphyseal plate - main site of longitudinal growth of long bone
