  2. Functions of the Bones http://www.quantummetta.co.uk/graphics/260/skeleton.jpg

  3. Support • form internal framework that supports and anchors all soft organs • legs support trunk • rib cage supports thoracic wall http://www.ub.uit.no/baser/arkinord/data/media/378/kalvebakkbru01-med.jpg

  4. Protection • Skull protects brain • Vertebrae protects spinal cord • Rib cage protects vital organs of thorax http://www.biology-blog.com/images/blogs/10-2007/organic-armor-for-dogs.jpg

  5. Movement • Skeletal muscles use the bones as levers to move the body and its parts. http://www.inloughborough.com/cat/images/Martial%20Arts%20Clubs.jpg

  11. Long Bones • Typically longer than they are wide • Have a shaft and heads at both ends • Bones of limbs (except wrist and ankles) • Mostly compact bones

  12. Short Bones • Generally cubed-shaped • mostly spongy bone • Bones of wrist and ankles

  13. Flat Bones • Thin, flattened, usually curved • Two thin layers of compact sandwiching a layer of spongy • Bones of skull, ribs, and sternum
