Osteology is the study of the skeletal system, which consists of 206 separate bones connected by strong ligaments forming joints and fibrous connections. Some bones form bone cavities like the skull, rib cage, and pelvis that protect vital organs. Bones have several roles including support, protection, movement, and producing specialized connective tissue. The skeletal system is divided into the axial skeleton of 80 bones including the skull, spine, rib cage, and hyoid bone, and the appendicular skeleton of 126 bones making up the upper and lower limbs. Bones can be long, short, flat, or irregular in shape depending on their location and function. Long bones have a central shaft and two ends, with the area between them growing

Osteologija je dio anatomije koji prouava kotani sistem. Kotani sistem
se sastoji od 206 odvojenih kostiju. Kosti su meusobno povezane jakim vezivnim spojevima koji obrazuju zglobove i vlaknaste vezivne spojeve. Neke kosti obrazuju kotane duplje kao to je lobanjska, grudna, karlina. U njima se nalaze zatieni vitalno vani organi. Uloga kostiju
potporna zatitna u kretanju u proizvodnji diferenciranog vezivnog tkiva
Postoji aksijalni (osovinski) skelet, koga sainjava 80 kostiju (lobanja,
kosti kimenog stuba, grudna kost, rebra, hioidna kost). Ostalih 126 kostiju ine apendikularni skelet (skelet gornjih i donjih ekstremiteta). Kosti po obliku mogu biti duge (ekstremiteti), kratke (stopalo i aka), pljosnate (lobanja i grudni ko) i nepravilne (kimeni stub). Kod dugih kostiju razlikujemo sredinji dio (dijafizu) i dva okrajka (epifizu). Izmeu ta dva dijela se nalazi metafiza, koja najintenzivnije raste. Graa Kosti su izgraene od vrstog kompaktnog kotanog tkiva (substantia compacta) i sunerastog (substantia spongiosa), u kome se nalaze kotane lamele.
