Long Bones: Bones that are longer than they are wide, primarily involved in movement and support (e.g., femur, humerus). Composed of a diaphysis (shaft) and epiphyses (ends).
Short Bones: Cube-shaped bones with approximately equal length and width, providing stability and support with limited movement (e.g., carpals, tarsals).
Flat Bones: Thin, flattened, and usually curved bones that protect internal organs and serve as attachment sites for muscles (e.g., sternum, skull bones, ribs).
Irregular Bones: Bones with complex shapes that do not fit into other categories, often supporting and protecting (e.g., vertebrae, pelvic bones).
Sesamoid Bones: Small bones embedded within tendons that protect tendons from stress and improve leverage (e.g., patella).
