Name the main functions of bone
Levers for muscle action, protection of vital organs, support
Name all functions of bone
Levers for muscle action, support, protection of organs, mineral depots, site of hematopoesis, storage of fat
Describe a long bone
Significantly longer in 1 dimension, found only in limbs, act as levers
Example: Humerus, femur
Describe a short bone
Equidimensional, fund only in limbs, used for complex movement
Example: Carpal and tarsal bones
Describe flat bones
Reduced in one dimension, site of hematopoesis
Example: Scapula, ribs, some skull bones
Describe irregular bones
Irregular bones have jutting processes
Example: vertebrae, pelvis
Describe sesamoid bones
Seed shaped, imbedded within tendons, reduce friction between tendon and underlying bone
Example: Patella
