Teeth-odontology
Divisions-Appendicular
bones, joints, cartilage associated with limbs
Divisions-Axial
Bones,jones, cartilage, teeth associated with long axis of the animal
Example, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, skull

How are bones classified?
Appearance and function
Long Bone
Femur and radius
Extended in one direction
Provides support
Short Bones
Do not have meridal cavity
Provides cushioning between long bones to absorb shock
In wrist and ankle
Flat Bone
Expanded in two directions
Provides protection
Pelvis,scapula,ribs,skull
Sesamoid Bone
Shaped like a sesameed seed
Pneumatic Bone
Has air filled cavity
Associated with sinuses
Irregular Bone
Vertebrae
Found in sites for protection
