This document provides an overview of bone anatomy and composition. It discusses the main types of bones - long, short, flat, and irregular - and their functions in structure, protection and movement. Bones are made up of compact bone on the outside and spongy bone on the inside. Long bones specifically have a diaphysis shaft and two epiphysis ends, with growth plates in children. Bones are composed of both organic materials like cells and collagen, and inorganic mineral salts, giving them both flexibility and hardness.
