    The musculoskeletal system includes bones, muscles, cartilage, and tendons. There are two types of bones - compact cortical bone which makes up the outer portion of bones, and cancellous trabecular or spongy bone which makes up the inner 20% of bones. There are 206 bones in the human body that are grouped into two categories - the axial skeleton which includes bones of the head, back, and chest, and the appendicular skeleton which includes bones of the upper and lower limbs. Bones have several functions including providing structure, protecting organs, enabling movement, and storing minerals. Fractures are generally classified as closed/simple or open/compound and can have specific patterns such as comminuted, greenstick, impacted
