Main ideas / lessons

  • Bones can be classified by their shape into main categories.
  • The classification depends on which dimensions (axes) predominate:
    • Long bones: one axis (especially length) is much greater than the other dimensions (width and thickness).
    • Flat bones: two axes (typically length and width) are larger than the third (thickness).
    • Short bones: the three axes are relatively similar in size.

Types of bones (by shape)

  1. Long bones

    • Defining concept: Predominance of length over width and thickness.
    • Examples mentioned: Humerus and Femur (also stated that most limb bones belong here).

  2. Flat bones

    • Defining concept: Predominance of two dimensions (about width and length) over thickness.
    • Examples mentioned: Bones of the Cranial Vault, Scapula, Coxal.

  3. Short bones

    • Defining concept: The three axes have similar proportions.
    • Examples mentioned: Carpus and Tarsus.

Additional types noted (from some bibliographies)

  • Irregular bones

    • Defining concept: Complex shapes that don’t fit neatly into the three main categories above.
    • Example mentioned: Vertebrae.

  • Sesamoid bones

    • Defining concept: Formed within tendons where there is considerable friction and mechanical stress.
    • Examples mentioned: Palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
