Document Summary

The skeletal system corresponds to all bones of the body together with their related cartilages. Long bones: longer tan they are wide. These bones have a shaft (diaphysis) and two ends called epiphyses. Short bones: small and roughly cubed shaped. Flat bones: thin, flattened, and usually curved. Irregular bones: various shapes that do not fit in any of the categories. Support: provides hard framework to protect the underlying organs. Movement: skeletal muscles use bones as levers. Bone consists of a dense outer layer, called the compact bone, and a spongy (cancellous) bone, which constitutes the internal network of the bone. The long bone consists of a diaphysis (shaft), two ends called the epiphyses, some part of which is usually covered by articular cartilage (hyaline), and the epiphyseal plate (cartilage) between the diaphysis and epiphysis. Bones also have blood vessels and nerved that supply them, as well as their related membranes, including periosteum, sharpey"s fibers, and endosteum.
