Bone Breakdown

Before taking a human anatomy and physiology class people think of a bone as a simple structural part of the body. When in reality bones are very complex and can be classified into multiple groups. The many groups they are classified into are their shapes. There are four main shapes of bones to be classified as; long, short, flat, and irregular. All these classifications are especially different but two of them are somewhat similar; being the long and short bones. The long bone is not classified by its shape it is base on length and width. For a bone to be a long bone the length has to be greater than its width; they also have a shaft and two ends as well. Long bones include all limb bones except the patella and the wrist
