Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Long bones are the compact bones which have more length than their width. At both the ends of these long bones, shafted heads are present. These long bones comprise the osseous tissue, the cartilage, the fibrous tissue, the connective tissue, and the blood. The bones of the limbs, except the kneecap, the wrist and the bones of the ankle belong to the category of the long bones.
