1. List the func&ons of the skeletal system.
It forms the structural frame work for the body and support the
body Without skeletal system body would be ball of flesh on the
ground. The func&ons of the skeletal system include providing
support to the body, facilita&ng movement, protec&ng internal
organs, producing blood cells, and storing and releasing minerals
and fat.

2. What material contributes the greatest to the compressive
strength of bone? The material that contributes the most to the
compressive strength of the bone is Collagen and Calcium
phosphate.
3. Briefly describe the process of bone remodeling.
The process of bone remodeling involves the complementary
processes of the forma&on of new bone &ssues by osteoblasts and
the breakdown and absorp&on of old bone &ssues by osteoclasts.
This twofold process is necessary for maintaining the strength and
integrity of the bones.
EXPERIMENT 1: CLASSIFICATION OF BONES
IntroducCon QuesCons
1. Why is it important to classify bones? Provide a few sentences in
response to this ques&on, below.
Classifying bones is important for understanding structure-
func&on rela&onships, facilita&ng medical diagnosis and
treatment, enhancing anatomical studies and research, and
suppor&ng educa&onal objec&ves.

1. Aside from length, what are some other common characteris&cs
of a long bone? Are long bones typically associated with the
axial or appendicular skeleton? Long bones are longer than
wide, in a cylinder shape. The diaphysis is the shaO, composed of
compact bone and spongy bone on the ends and also found in
the epiphysis. Long bones are typically associated with the
appendicular skeleton, such as upper and lower limbs.
2. Compare flat bones and long bones. How are they different?
How are they the same?
Both flat bones and long bones serve the purpose of strength and
support for the body. Long bones are typically an elongated
cylinder shape, while flat bones are thin and flaUened in shape
with a curve. Another difference is long bones help with
suppor&ng body weight and movements, while flat bones
