This document summarizes the study of osteology, which deals with bones and cartilages. It discusses the composition, functions, surface features, and various methods of classifying bones. Some key classifications mentioned are based on development (membranous, cartilaginous, membranocartilaginous), evolution (exoskeleton, endoskeleton), region (axial, appendicular), and structure (compact, spongy). Different bone shapes are also classified, including long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones.
