The skeleton is made up of two types of bone: cortical (outer bone) and trabecular (the inner softer core, the more metabolically active bone). The skeleton provides the strength needed to withstand the mechanical forces of daily weight-bearing. Structurally, the long bones of the skeleton are often referred to as appendicular bones and the bones of the trunk as the axial skeleton.
