Skeletal
All Bones:
-
Spine – cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and tailbone (coccyx)
-
Arms – shoulder blade (scapula), collar bone (clavicle), humerus, radius and ulna
Hands – wrist bones (carpals), metacarpals and phalanges
-
Legs – thigh bone (femur), kneecap (patella), shin bone (tibia) and fibula
Feet – tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges.
Bone types
Long bone – has a long, thin shape. Examples include the bones of the arms and legs (excluding the wrists, ankles and kneecaps). With the help of muscles, long bones work as levers to permit movement.
Short bone – has a squat, cubed shape. Examples include the bones that make up the wrists and the ankles.
Flat bone – has a flattened, broad surface. Examples include ribs, shoulder blades, breast bone and skull bones.
Irregular bone – has a shape that does not conform to the above three types. Examples include the bones of the spine (vertebrae).
Bone Tissues:
Periosteum – the dense, tough outer shell that contains blood vessels and nerves
Compact or dense tissue – the hard, smooth layer that protects the tissue within
Spongy or cancellous tissue – the porous, honeycombed material found inside most bones, which allows the bone to be strong yet lightweight
Bone marrow – the jelly-like substance found inside the cavities of some bones (including the pelvis) that produces blood cells.
