1
elaborate in shape and thus cannot be classified into the other categories.
2
connected by hyaline cartilage and have no joint cavity.
3
consists of the bones of the upper and lower limbs and the pectoral and pelvic girdles.
4
form within the tendons of some muscles as these tendons pass over joints. Their size and distribution can vary, and they often only measure a few millimeters. They act to protect the tendon and to increase its mechanical effect.
5
generally equal in width and length. They are mainly composed of spongy bone surrounded by a thin layer of compact bone.
6
long, cylindrical structure which forms the main shaft of a long bone. It is formed by a relatively thick layer of compact bone that overlies a thin layer of spongy bone
7
joints that have a synovial, fluid-filled cavity that surrounds the articulating bones.
8
consist of a long shaft, cylindrical in cross section, and (usually) expanded at either end. They are mostly composed of compact tissue, but contain spongy bone within their diaphyses.
9
smooth and thin bones comprising two thin and flat plates of compact bone, between which lies a layer of spongy bone. They protect the soft internal structures and provide attachments for muscles.
10
connected by dense connective tissue and have no joint cavity.
11
forms the central axis of the body and is made up of the cranium, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.
