classification of bones
Long Bones: Cylindrical, longer than wide, found in limbs, serve as levers for movement.
Short Bones: Cube-like with equal dimensions, found in wrists and ankles, offer support and stability.
Flat Bones: Thin and often curved, protect organs and provide muscle attachment points (e.g., skull, scapulae).
Irregular Bones: Lack specific shape, serve specialized functions (e.g., vertebrae, facial bones).
Sesamoid Bones: Small, round bones within tendons, found in areas with high pressure (e.g., patellae).
