Bone types
Long Bones
Short Bones
Irregular Bones
Flat Bones
Sesamoid Bones
Long Bones, Short Bones, Irregular Bones, Flat Bones, Sesamoid Bones FUNCTION
Long Bones - Leverage, Contains Bone Marrow for Producing Red Blood Cells
Short Bones - Weight bearing
Irregular Bones - Protect, Helps with bit of movement
Flat Bones - Protection, Muscle attachment
Sesamoid Bones -Reduce Friction
Long Bone
- Diaphysis containing yellow bone marrow
- Bone marrow produces red blood cells
- Two expanded ends known as epiphysis
- (Examples: Femur, Radius, Phalange)
- Function: Responsible for leverage
Short Bone
- Very light and very strong
- Composed of Cancellous bone surrounded by a thin layer of compact bone
- (Aero Chocolate Bar)
(Chocolate= Bone) (Aero inside= Sponge bit in middle) - Function: Responsible for Weight bearing
Irregular Bone
- Complex shapes, dont fit in any other bone category
- Bones in Spine (Vertebrae)
- Function: Protect and help a bit with movement
Flat Bone
- Made up of spongy bone (no holes) between two layers of hard compact bone and have a large surface area
- (Bourbon)
- Function: Protection for Muscle Attachment
Sesamoid Bone
- Specially shaped to perform a particular function
- Usually found in a tendon
- Function: Reduce Friction
Postural Deviations (Spine)
When Viewed from an ANTERIOR, the spine should be completely straight
Anterior
VS
Posterior
- The front (Anterior)
- The back (Posterior)
Kyphosis (Spine)
- Outward curve of the Thoraic region of the spine resulting in a ‘Hunchback’ appearance
- Usually caused by poor posture or deformities of the Vertebrae
Scoliosis (Spine)
- Sideways curve (Lateral Curve)
- Abnormal curvature of the spine to left or right (Lateral Curve)
Neutral (Spine)
Normal spine posture
Bone Growth
- Ossification: Process of Bone growth
- Osteoclasts: Carry away unnecessary Calcium + Nutrients
- Osteoblasts: Brings new bone Calcium + Nutrients
- Epiphyseal Plate: Happens at Growth Plate (Cartilage)
Skeletal System Bones

- Fibula
- Tarsals
- Metatarsals
- Phalanges
Joints
- Fibrous: Immovable Joints, dont move
(Cranium or Hips) - Slightly Moveable (Cartilaginous): Allows slight moveable between most vertebrae
(Spine)
-Synovial: Lots of movements, Freely
(Covered with articular Cartilage, allows no friction)
Bursa
- Provides soft cushion between the tendons and bones preventing friction, filled with synovial fluid
Articular Cartilage
- On the ends of the bones, stop bones from rubbing
Synovial Fluid
- Lubricates Joints, reduces friction
Ligaments
- Holds bones together, keep in place (support) (reduce risk of injury)
Synovial Joints
- Hinge
- Ball and Socket
- Ellipsoid
Hinge
- Goes two ways only
- (Elbow and knee)
Ball and Socket
- Round end of one bone fits in to a cup shaped socket in the other bone which allows movement in all directions
- (Hip and shoulder)
- Cartilage surrounds bones to stop rubbing
Ellipsoid
- Modified version of a ball and socket joint
- A bump on one bone sits in the hollow formed by another
- (Radius and Ulna meets wrist joint)
