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
1. long bones- ex. femur, tibia, humerus, radius, and ulna
2. short bones- ex. carpals, tarsals
3. flat bones- ex. frotal,parietal
4. irregular bones- ex, spinal column, sphenoid, ethmoid bones
what are the types of biotechnology and give its example each type
Bone is broken down and built up all the time. This occurs on the surface of all bone types. About 10% of bone is replaced each year. Osteoblasts build bone. Osteoclasts break it down. Calcium is needed for this process.
GROUP OF CELLS FORM TISSUE ..SO BONE TISSUE IS FORMED OF FIVE TYPES OF BONE CELLS. Bone tissue contains five basic types of bone cells. There are cells which are responsible for the response of the body to trauma and fracture, and those which secrete the basic chemical compound which bones are made of. There are cells mature bone cells and cells that break down the bone tissue. All bone cells have a particular function and each is needed for bones to retain their strength, develop, heal, and grow.
The two types are Vascualr, and non vascular
These are bones in the face that stick out from the sides to form the cheek. There is one on each side.
Each bone has a different shape.

The foramen and meatus are not bones. They are bone markings -- each is an opening in a bone.

Two different types of shapes would be a circle and a square. they differ from each other in the fact that a circle's shape is perpetual as a square has four equal sides and four corners.
Identify and describe 4 basic types of climates and give an example of each?
You have two types of bone in each bone. You have compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone is the hard stuff that protects the yellow marrow (this stores fat) in the long part of your bone. Spongy bone is still hard, but it is a bit more forgiving because it is not solid bone. It has holes in it (thus the name). These holes are filled with your red marrow (these make red blood cells).
Geometric shapes mean that the shape is just a basic shape, like for example, a trapazoid would be a geometric shape because of it continuous lines that connect at each corner.
they all have different shapes and sizes and each one would have a different amount of rain water inside.
An allegory
Solids have a fixed shape because the particles inside them are stuck to each other and they cannot move. :)
