Bone Classification
 The skeleton can be divided into ______ broad
categories based on their individual shapes
 Objective: To learn the categories and be able to put
various bones into their appropriate category.
Flat bones
 Flat bones
 _______, roughly
parallel surfaces
 Functions
1. Provide __________
for underlying soft
tissues
2. Provides extensive
surface area for the
attachment of
___________________
Irregular bones
 Shape
 Complex shape with
short, flat, notched, or
rigid surfaces
 Examples
 ______________
 Bones of the Pelvis
 Some skull bones
Short bones
 Shape
 ___________ and boxy
 Examples
 Carpals
 Tarsals
Long Bones
 Long bones
 Relatively long and
slender
 Examples
 ________________
 Phalanges
 Radias
 Factiod
 The femur is the largest
and heaviest bone in the
body. The body is usually
_______ times the length
of this bone
Sutural Bones
 Sutural bones (Wormian
bones)
 Known as extra sutural bones
 Small, flat, irregularly
shaped bones between the
flat bones of the skull
 Factoid
 These bones __________ in
number, shape, and position
of sutural bones.
 Borders are like pieces of a
jigsaw _____________, size
ranges from a grain of sand
to a quarter
Sesamoid Bones
 Sesamoid Bones
 Small, flat, and shaped
somewhat like a
________________ seed.
Develop inside tendons
and are most commonaly
located near joints at the
knees, the hands, and the
feet.
 Factoid
 Everyone has 2 patella but
there is potential for up to
26 of these bones
The Skull
 Contains ______ bones: 8-cranium (braincase) and 14-
facial
 ____ bones are associated with the skull in addition to
the 22 above
 Inside- blood vessels, nerves, and membranes that
stabilize the position of the brain are attached to the
inner surfaces of the skull
 Outside- The outer surfaces provides an extensive area
for the attachment of ______________ that move the
eyes, jaws, and head
Termanology
 In the adult skull ____________________ are the
immovable joints between the skull bones
 ______________ bones(skull bones) form the
cranium. This protects the, a fluid-filled chamber that
cushions and supports the brain.
 ______________ bumps on the bones
Occipital bone
 The lamboid suture
arches across the
posterior surface of the
skull, superior to the
Occipital bone.
Parietal Bones
 There are 2
 Seperated by the
______________ suture
Frontal Bones
 ______________ suture
attaches the frontal bone
to the parietal bones on
either side
 Forms the anterior of the
cranium
 Forms the roof of the
Orbits (eye socket)
Temporal Bones
 There are 2
 The Squamous suture
forms a boundry
temporal and parietal
bones
Mastoid Process
Styloid Process
Sphenoid
Unites cranial and facial
bones
Forms part of the floor of the
cranium. A cross brace that
strengthens the sides of the skull
Zygomatic Bones
 There are 2
 Form part of the

 Forms the lateral wall of
the orbit (eye socket)
