    The document provides an overview of the skeleton and classifications of bones. It describes various bone markings like tuberosities, crests, trochanters, lines, tubercles, epicondyles, spines, and rami that are sites of muscle and ligament attachment or help form joints. It also describes depressions and openings in bones like meatuses, sinuses, fossae, and foramina that allow blood vessels and nerves to pass through. Finally, it classifies bones into four main kinds - long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones - based on their gross anatomy.

    bone and lots of open space.
