Chapter 5 Objectives

  • Bones: An Overview (pp. 112-120)
  • Identify the subdivisions of the skeleton as axial or appendicular.
  • List at least three functions of the skeletal system.
  • Name the four main kinds of bones.
  • Identify the major anatomical areas of a long bone.
  • Explain the role of bone salts and the organic matrix in making bone both hard and flexible.
