Study Notes

Skeleton

  • The skeleton is separated into three main parts:
    • Axial: Includes the head, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
    • Appendicular: Includes the anterior (thoracic) limb and the posterior (coxal) limb
    • Visceral or Splanchnic: Includes bones like os penis, os rostrum, os cordis, os sclerotica.

Classification of Bones

  • Long bones:
    • Elongated shape with cylindrical form in limbs
    • Contain a diaphysis (shaft) and an epiphysis (ends)
  • Short bones:
    • Cubic shape with similar dimensions
    • Defined by faces, edges, and angles
  • Flat bones:
    • Longitudinal shape with width greater than thickness
    • Characterized by faces, edges, and angles
  • Irregular bones:
    • Unique shapes with unpaired structures located in the midline
    • Examples include vertebrae and facial bones
