Mallelous
Sponge like material in hollow cavities in bone
Red bone marrow
Two bone that fuse to create the upper jaw bone
Maxilla

Bone type
Cube shaped bones that facilitate movement transfer forces
Short bones
Bone type Metatarsals metacarpals Phalanges Ankle Wrist
Short bones
Bone type
Provides surfaces for muscle attachment
Ex: cranial, ribs, scapulae, pelvis, ilum
Flat bones
