Scapula is what type of bone?
The scapula is an irregular bone, and is defined as such because it is not a long, short, or thin bone. A long bone is longer than it is wide, for example the femur. Short bones are "cube shaped", such as the cuboid (one of your tarsal bones). Thin bones have a curve to them and are fairly flat, such as your sternum.
What is the term for the enlarged ends of long bones?
The term for enlarged ends of long bones is epiphysis. This is a thin layer of compact bone overlying spongy bone.
Articular cartilage found at the end of the long bones serves to?
Cushion the bones from impact. Articular cartilage acts as a thin shock absorber.
What are expanded ends of bones that form joints with adjacent bones?
The head (as opposed the the thin, elongated shaft).
What are the four types of bone shapes and give an example of each?
There are actually five basic shapes for bones: 1. Long bones - examples: humerus or femur. Long bones are characterized by a shaft, the diaphysis, that is much greater in length than width. They are comprised mostly of compact bone and lesser amounts of marrow, which is located within the medullary cavity, and spongy bone. Most bones of the limbs, including those of the fingers and toes, are long bones. The exceptions are those of the wrist, ankle and kneecap. 2. Short bones - examples: carpels and tarsals (wrist and ankles bones). Short bones are roughly cube-shaped, and have only a thin layer of compact bone surrounding a spongy interior. The bones of the wrist and ankle are short bones, as are the sesamoid bones. 3. Flat bones - example: sternum. Flat bones are thin and generally curved, with two parallel layers of compact bones sandwiching a layer of spongy bone. Most of the bones of the skull are flat bones, as is the sternum. 4. Irregular bones - example:: vertebra in the spine. Irregular bones do not fit into the above categories. They consist of thin layers of compact bone surrounding a spongy interior. As implied by the name, their shapes are irregular and complicated. The bones of the spine and hips are irregular bones. 5. Sesamoid bones - example: patella
