The Skeletal System Introduction Bones provide the body with structure and support. You will learn about the bones of the body, their structure, and how the joints of the body work. The skeletal system is composed of 206 bones as well as joints and related connective tissues. The Skeletal System Bone Structure Bones contain various kinds of tissues, including osseous tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. Osseous tissue can appear compact or spongy Bone Structure (cont.) Compact bone looks solid; however, the following structures can be observed with a microscope All bones are made up of both compact and spongy bone Classification of Bones Long bones - located primarily in the arms and legs -femur (thigh bone) & humerus (upper arm bone) Short bones - small bones are located in the wrists and ankles - carpals (wrist bones) & tarsals (ankle bones) Flat bones - located in the skull and rib cage - ribs and frontal bone Irregular bones - vertebrae and the bones of the pelvic girdle. .
