You have two types of bone in each bone. You have compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone is the hard stuff that protects the yellow marrow (this stores fat) in the long part of your bone. Spongy bone is still hard, but it is a bit more forgiving because it is not solid bone. It has holes in it (thus the name). These holes are filled with your red marrow (these make red blood cells).

What are the 3 major types of bones found in the skeleton?

Four types of bones in the human body are:Long BonesShort BonesFlat BonesIrregular BonesLong Bones are defined as having a length longer than their width. This means that although some of the longest bones in the body such as the femur (thigh bone) and humerus (upper arm bone) are long bones, some of the shortest bones in the body such as the phalanges (bones in the fingers and toes) are also classified as long bones. Short Bones are defined as being approximately equal in width and length and usually provide stability and support such as the carpal bones in the wrist.Flat Bones as their name suggests are flat plates of bone. The main function of flat bones is to provide protection to some of the body's vital organs, such as the cranium which protects the brain. Other examples of flat bones are the scapula (shoulder blade) and the ribs.Irregular Bones are bones which do not have a uniform shape and therefore do not fit into any other category. An example of an irregular bone is the patella (knee cap).
