1. Osteology

   • Varieties of bones
     • Compact
     • Cancellous
   • Contents of bone

     • Sesamoid bone
     • Pneumatic bone
     • Long bone
     • Flat bone
     • Irregular bone
   • Cartilage
     • Type of cartilage
       • Hyaline cartilage
         • facilitating smooth movements at joints.
       • Elastic cartilage
         • great flexibility that able to withstand repeated bending
       • Fibrocartilage
         • owes its inflexibility and toughness
     • Function
       • form structural support in flexible part
       • achieve smooth movement at the joints
       • involve in the growth of bone
       • repair of bones
   • Bone function
     • Support, protection, movement
     • Mineral storage, Blood cell formation
