| axial skeleton | central (80 bones) |
| appendicular skeleton | sides (126 bones) |

| short bone | almost equal in length and width and contain a thick interior of spongy bone covered by a thin veneer of compact bone |
| flat bone | relatively flat, but may be curved, and contain a thin, spongy bone interior covered by a thin veneer of compact bone |
| irregular bone | self-explanatory and do not easily fit into any category (vertebral) |
| sesamoid bone | small bones that develop in tendons (patella) for protection against wear and tear; form at points of friction |
| sutural bone | within the cranium |
| functions of the skeletal system | lever system for locomotion, storage for minerals/nutrients, protection for organs/tissues, framework for the body, blood cell formation (hemopolesis) |
| epiphyses | enlarged proximal and distal ends of long bones |
| diaphysis | middle shaft area of long bones formed by mostly compact bone |
