A system of human anatomy, general and special . , and for the transmission of vessels and nerves. They articulatewith long bones by means of smooth surfaces plated with cartilage,and with each other either by fibrous tissue, as at the symphysis pubis;or by suture, as in the bones of the skull.

The flat bones are the occipital, parietal,frontal, nasal, lachrymal, vomer, sternum, scapulas, and ossa inno-minata. The Irregular bones include all that remain after the long and theflat bones have been selected. They are essentially irregular in theirform, in some parts flat, in others short-and thick. In preceding edi-tions of this work, the short and thick bones wrere made a separateclass, under the name of short bones. This subdivision has been foundto be disadvantageous, besides being arbitrary, and is, therefore, nowomitted. Irregular bones are constructed on the same general princi- 46 STRUCTURE OF BONE.
