What is Chapter 7: Skeletal System Overview about?
This chapter discusses the skeletal system and bone structure. It covers the four classes of bone according to shape (long, short, flat, irregular), the parts of a long bone including the diaphysis and epiphyses, and the microscopic structure of compact and spongy bone. Bone development and growth are also explained, including intramembranous and endochondral ossification. Growth at the epiphyseal plate and homeostasis of bone tissue through the actions of osteoclasts and osteoblasts are described.
