Study Notes
Skeletal System Divisions
- The skeletal system is divided into three parts: axial, appendicular, and visceral.
- The axial skeleton includes the head, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.
- The appendicular skeleton includes the anterior or thoracic limb and the posterior limb and coxal.
- The visceral skeleton includes os penis, os rostrum, os cordis, and os sclerotica.
Bone Classification
- Long bones: Elongated shape with similar dimensions in length, width, and thickness.
- Short bones: Cubical shape with similar dimensions in length, width, and thickness.
- Flat bones: Elongated shape where length predominates over width and thickness.
- Long bones: Elongated shape, cylindrical (without cavity), medial cavity, extremity, body, and ribs.
- Irregular bones: Oddly shaped and located in the midline.
