Osteology is a subpart of biology which includes the detailed study of bones, practiced by anatomists, anthropologists, osteologists, etc. osteology is a subdiscipline of anatomy, anthropology, and paleontology. It includes a detailed study of the structure of bones, skeletal parts, dentures, micro-bone architecture, functions, clinical aspects, ossification, etc.
