Answer:

There are many different types of bones in the human body with very diverse functions. For example, the thin flat bones that form the distinctive part of the skull, known as cranial bone plates, are one type. And then there are spinal cord bones and rib cage bones, as well a whole myriad of other types for various purposes like protecting joints or even herniating discs.

When they start to break down…well, let's just say it's not good. Bones protect our muscles and vital organs; without them, we would be extremely vulnerable to damage from external forces or injury.

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of bones include:

-Pelvic bone which is made up of three different bones known as the ilium, the ischium, and the pubis.

-Humerus, one of two long arm bones in front and behind your upper arm on your non-bicep side.

-Rib cage is a group of around 26 individual floating ribs stacked on top of each other to make a protective cage for your abdominal organs." The rib cage (or chest) protects organs in your abdomen like the heart and lungs, as well as supports important tissues such as veins that carry blood back to those organs by spiraling through connective tissue."

There are five types of bones, they are
1. Flat bones: They are thin and flat. They provide protection from mechanical injury to the internal organs. The bones that form the cranium are flat bones.
2. Irregular bones: They have complicated shapes that cannot be classified as 'long', 'short' or 'flat'. Their shapes are due to the functions they fulfill within the body. The bone of the vertebral column, the bones of the pelvic region.
3. Long bones: These type of bones are longer than wider and they function to support the weight of the body and facilitate movement
4. Short bones: They are almost cube-shaped bones as they are equal in their length and width. They form the carpels in the wrist and tarsels in the ankle.
5. Sesmoid : These bones are small, round and embedded in the tendons. Tendons are present between the bone of the elbow, knee etc.
Patella the knee bone is a sesmoid bone.
