    The document classifies the skeletal system into four bone types: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. It provides examples of each bone type and describes their key features and functions. Long bones are relatively long and slender, found in the arms and legs, and serve as levers. Short bones are cube-like in shape and provide stability and support with some limited motion. Flat bones have thin, parallel surfaces and serve as points of attachment or protect internal organs. Irregular bones have complex shapes and protect internal organs.
