Name of Student
Name of Institution

What are some of the long bones that are found in the upper and lower extremities?
Among the long bones found in the body include the femur and tibia; these bones are the usual ones that receive the most weight of the load carried by the body (MCC, 2010). The growth of these bones could be accounted for to have come from endochondral ossification which is usually controlled by the growth hormones which is the secretion empowered by the pituitary gland.
What are 2 examples of types of flat bones in the body?

Among the flat bones present in the human body include the sternum, the pelvis and the rib cage (MCC, 2010). The cranial bones are also noted for being flat which usually involves the emergent construction of the layers of flat tissues that form the skull.
What are some ways to maintain skeletal health and prevent bone loss?
