ANATOMY & PHYSIOLGY: BONES
Bone *
▪ specialized form of connective tissue
▪ “Skeleton” = derived from Greek word = “dried-
up body”
▪ living, metabolically active tissue
▪ Site of fat, mineral storage (calcium),
hematopoiesis
Skeleton
▪ 206 bones, variable shapes/sizes
▪ support and protection for vital organs such as
the heart, lungs, and brain
▪ 2 divisions:
Axial
1. - long axis of the body = skull,
vertebral column, and rib cage
Appendicular
2. - the arms, shoulders, pelvis,
legs
