|
A bone that has a body longer than it is wide, with epiphysis at each end. Tubular Structures. Exp: Femur, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, fibula, metacarpals, and metatarsals |
Long Bones
|
|
|
Bones that are approximately as wide as they are long and have a primary function of providing support and stability with little movement. Exp: carpals, tarsals |
Short Bones
|
|
|
Bones that are strong and flat, with a main function of protecting bodies vital organs, and being a base for muscular attachment. Broad and slightly flat. Exp: scapula, ilium, patella, frontal, temporal bone, and sternum |
Flat Bones
|
|
|
Bones that don't fit into any other category. Exp: vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx |
