Osteology is the scientific study of bones, (their structure, shape, number) cartilage and bonds.
Depending on their location in the body, bones are divided into these groups: axial (bones of the skull, spine/backbone ribs and breastbone), peripheral (bones of the limbs) and splanchnic.
Depending on their shape and size bones can be divided into: long or oval, short, flat and irregular.
Axial skeleton is made of bones of the scull and spine/backbone.
Ribs are connected to the spine in the thorax area.
The limb skeleton consists of the bones of the extremities.
