What shape are long bones and where are they found?
Diaphysis (shaft) and epiphyses (spherical ends of bones) found in arms and legs
What shape are short bones and where are they found?
They are cube like shaped found in wrists and ankles
What shape are sesame is bones and where are they found?
Sesame shaped and found within the tendons that pass over long bones e.g patella
What shape are flat bones and where are they found?
They are thin, flat and slightly curved found in scapula, flat bones of skull ribs and sternum and these bones protect the organs
What shape are irregular bones and where are they found?

What are the functions of the skeletal system?
Support Protection Movement Mineral storage Hematopiesis Energy storage Levers
This is a type of supportive connective tissue consisting of osteocytes trapped within lacunae, embedded in a large amount of solid (hard) extra cellular matrix
Bone tissue
This is 1/3 organic matter and 2/3 inorganic matter
Bone matrix
Mineralization of bone matrix is known as
Calcification
This type of growth is from within tissue; bone grows in length during childhood and adolescence
Interstitial growth
This type of growth is at outer surface of tissue; bone grows in thickness of cartilage matrix
Appositional growth
This type of bone contains red bone marrow with in it’s sinuses
Spongy bone
A ct membrane covers compact bone except at end of epiphyses
Periosteum
At osteopenia layer lines the medullary cavity trabecular and central canals
Endosteum
Forms the middle shaft portion
Diaphysis
