We can classify offerings in several different ways: You can classify them by what is offered, so there are offerings of bulls, sheep, goats, grain, unleavened bread, meal, oil, and wine. You can classify them by what happens: There are burnt offerings, where the whole gift goes up as smoke. There are offerings where part is "turned to smoke" and part is eaten by the priests, and wave offerings where the whole thing goes to the priests after being waved before the altar. These can be thought of as a system of taxes on the people to support the priesthood. There are offerings where part goes up in smoke, part goes to the priests, and part goes home with the person who offered it -- for dinner. You can classify offerings by why they are made: There are daily offerings, special Sabbath offerings, festival offerings, peace offereings, offerings of Thanksgiving, offerings marking the return of someone to ritual purity, and sin offerings.

When a bull was sacrificed was a substantial part consumed by the people?

It depends on the type of offering. The only common offering that was completely consumed by fire was the Olah (burnt offering; Leviticus ch.1).The sin-offering and guilt-offering (Chatat, Asham) were eaten by the Kohanim (Leviticus ch.4,5, 6 and 7), except in rare cases.The Shelamim-offerings (Leviticus ch.3) were eaten by the person who offered it, together with whomever he wished to share it (Leviticus ch.7). The Shelamim was the most common of the offerings (it is somewhat inaccurately translated as a "peace" offering). It included several types of offerings: the regular Shelamim, the Hagigah, the Pesach, the Todah and the Maaser.See also:http://judaism.answers.com/jewish-history/the-sacrifices-in-the-temple
