Those bones which occur in the knees, elbows, hips, shoulders, cheeks, palate, temples, interiliac space (i. e. sacrum), and cranium are termed pan-shaped. The teeth are sharp bones. Tender bones occur in the nose, ears, neck, and eye-balls. The bones in the hands, feet, sides, back, abdomen, and breast are ornament-shaped. The remaining bones are reed-shaped. These are the five classes of bones which take their names from their shapes.
