Explain the types of bones

The skeleton is the body's frame. It provides the foundation to which other structures cling and helps to create our shape. All of the bones of the skeleton can be categorized into four types: short, long, flat, and irregular. Each type of bone serves a particular purpose and some types have more than one function.

Long Bones

The skeleton of the arms and legs are made up of mostly long bones. Long bones are so-called because they are longer than they are wide. Long bones in the arm include the humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges. Long bones of the leg include the femur, tibia, fibula, metatarsals, and phalanges. The clavicles (collar bones) are also long bones.

Long bones provide the leverage we need for moving our bodies and for manipulating our environment. All long bones have two main parts: diaphysis and epiphysis.

Diaphysis

The diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone, the main body. The diaphysis is a tube with a hollow center called the medullary cavity (or marrow cavity). The wall of the diaphysis is made up of compact bone, which is dense and very hard. For most of the life of a long bone, the center of the diaphysis is filled with yellow bone marrow. Yellow bone marrow is basically fat, also known as adipose tissue.
