🦴 Anatomy in 10 Seconds — Types of Bones
Understanding the classification of bones helps in identifying their structure, function, and clinical relevance 💡
Here’s a quick breakdown 👇
1️⃣ Long Bone — Femur
📌 Function: Support & movement
💡 Contains yellow marrow → helps in weight bearing & locomotion
2️⃣ Short Bone — Carpals
📌 Function: Shock absorption & stability
💡 Nearly equal in length & width → allow small but complex movements
3️⃣ Flat Bone — Skull
📌 Function: Protection
💡 Protects brain + provides surface for muscle attachment
4️⃣ Irregular Bone — Vertebrae
📌 Function: Special + complex body functions
💡 Unique shapes → protect spinal cord & support posture
5️⃣ Sesamoid Bone — Patella
📌 Function: Reduces friction in tendons
💡 Improves leverage for thigh muscles during knee movements
📍Remember:
➡️ Bone shape decides function ✔️
➡️ This classification is IMPORTANT for Viva & Exams 🎯
