Human: I'm learning about the different types of bones in humans and am wondering if you could tell me about the five main types

Assistant: What would you like to know about them? I can answer a few simple questions, but this might take a while if you’re looking for a thorough explanation.

Assistant: Sure! There are the fibrous bones, like your ribs, the flat bones, like your skull and pelvis, and the end bones like your nose and fingers. These types are each comprised of several types of bones, though.  Your skull for example has several components:

-Frontal bone, which is front and above your eyes,
-Parietal bone, which is the upper part of the skull,
-Temporal bone, which is part of the temples,
-Occipital bone, which is the back of the skull,
-Sphenoid bone, which is in the midline and has the sella turcica (empty space) in it, which holds the pituitary gland, and
-Ethmoid bone, which is above the eyes, which the sclera of the eye sockets are attached to.
