Abstract

The components of the skeleton may be divided into broad categories for general descriptive purposes. The long or tubular bones have a shaft of compact bone surrounding a central cavity which contains cancellous bone together with bone marrow and fat. The cortical bone is thickest in the mid-portion of the shaft, while the cancellous bone is relatively diminished in amount in this region, being more pronounced in density towards the bone ends. The tubular bones comprise the long tubular bones of the limbs (humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia and fibula) and the short tubular bones in the hands and feet (metacarpals, metatarsals and phalanges).
