🗑
Bones   show
🗑
Ossification   show
🗑
show Are softer than adults because it has not yet been ossified.  
🗑
There are two ways osteogenesis or ossification occurs:   show
🗑
show Osteoblasts - Build bone Osteoclasts - Chew bone Osteocytes - Maintain bone Osteogenic Cell - Stem Cells  
🗑
show Typical bone has an out layer of hard or compact bone, inside this layer is spongy bone. In the middle of some bones is jelly-like bone marrow, where new cells are constantly being produced for the blood.  
🗑
Red and Yellow Bone Marrow   show
🗑
show -Long -Short -Flat -Irregular -Sesamoid  
🗑
show Usually short or irregular bones, imbedded in a tendon. It passes over a joint which serves to protect the tendon.  
🗑
Examples of sesamoid bones   show
🗑
show These are bones which do not fall into any category (due to non-uniform shape). Primarily consists of cancellous bone, aka spongy bone, with a thin outer layer of compact bone.  
🗑
show -Vertebrae -Sacrum -Mandible (lower jaw)

show -Scapula -Sternum -Cranium -Coxae -Pelvis -Ribs  
🗑
show Being approximately as wide a they are long, have primary function of providing support and stability with movement.  
🗑
show Carpals and tarsals (wrist and foot bones) Consist of only a thin layer of compact, hard bone with spongy bone on the inside along with relatively large amounts of bone marrow.
