  1. Objective 3 Compare and contrast the four bone classifications, giving examples of each.

  2. Bones of the Human Body • The adult skeleton has 206 bones • Two basic types of bone tissue • Compact bone • Homogeneous • Spongy bone • Small needle-like pieces of bone • Many open spaces Figure 5.2b

  3. Classification of Bones 1. Long bones • Typically longer than wide • Have a shaft with heads at both ends • Classified by shape, not size • Contain mostly compact bone • Examples: Femur, humerus, phalanges

  4. Classification of Bones 2. Short bones • Generally cube-shape • Contain mostly spongy bone • Examples: Carpals (wrist), tarsals (ankle), patella (knee cap)

  5. Classification of Bones 3. Flat bones • Thin and flattened • Usually curved • Thin layers of compact bone around a layer of spongy bone • Examples: Skull, ribs, sternum, scapula

  6. Classification of Bones 4. Irregular bones • Irregular, complex shape • Do not fit into other bone classification categories…the “other” category • Example: Vertebrae, scapula, and hip

  7. Classification of Bones on the Basis of Shape Figure 5.1
