Types of Bones in the Human Skeletal System: Structure, Classification & Functions

This document provides a detailed classification of human bones, covering their structure, functions, and anatomical significance in the skeletal system. Key highlights include:

1. Bone Types & Features:

  • Long Bones (e.g., femur, humerus): Support weight and enable movement.

  • Short Bones (e.g., carpals, tarsals): Provide stability and shock absorption.

  • Flat Bones (e.g., skull, ribs): Protect vital organs and anchor muscles.

  • Irregular Bones (e.g., vertebrae, hyoid): Complex shapes for specialized functions.

  • Sesamoid Bones (e.g., patella): Embedded in tendons to reduce friction.

2. Functional Roles:

  • Support & Movement: Leverage for muscle attachment.

  • Protection: Shield organs (e.g., skull for brain, ribs for heart/lungs).

  • Hemopoiesis: Blood cell production in bone marrow.

  • Mineral Storage: Calcium and phosphate homeostasis.

3. Anatomical Distribution:

  • Upper/Lower Extremities: Long bones (clavicle, tibia) and short bones (phalanges).

  • Axial Skeleton: Flat (sternum) and irregular bones (vertebrae).
