Abstract

Connective tissue is classified into loose and dense, regular and irregular. Skeletal system consists of cartilage, bone and joints. Cartilage is classified into three— hyaline, elastic and white fibrocartilage. Bone is classified macroscopically and microscopically. There are different parts of long bone. Periosteum is the outer covering of bone. Bone can ossify in cartilage or membrane. Major bones in the body are clavicle, scapula, humerus radius, ulna, articulated hand, hip bone, femur, tibia, fibula, articulated foot, skull bones, fontanelle, hyoid bone, ribs, sternum, and vertebrae. Joints are classified into different types. Major synovial joints are shoulder joint, hip joint, knee joint, temporomandibular joint.
