Axial skeleton - includes the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum. Bones - serve as a reservoir for calcium and phosphorus and act as biomechanical levers on which muscles act to produce the movements. Long bones - have a shaft (diaphysis) and two ends (epiphyses). The metaphysis is a part of the diaphysis, the growth zone between the diaphysis and epiphysis during bone development. Sesamoid bones - develop in certain tendons and reduce friction on the tendon. Osteoblast - synthesiz...
