A part of a bone!
hematopoiesis is the formation of blood cells which happens red bone marrow. red bone marrow is found in flat bones. the sternum(a flat bone) is a major site for hematopoiesis
Red marrow is mostly found in flat bones, such as the hip bone, breast bone, skull etc. :)
the bones in your skull are flat thay are a series of plates
A bone that is platelike is classified as a flat bone. Flat bones, such as the skull or ribs, have a flattened, thin shape and provide protection and support.
The parietal bone is classified as a flat bone.
No, the temporal bone is not a flat bone. It is a irregular bone located on the side of the skull and it plays a crucial role in protecting the brain and supporting various structures in the head.
Technically, the patella is catagroized as a sesamoid bone.
sternum
No, flat bones do not produce red blood cells. Red blood cells are primarily produced in the bone marrow, specifically in the spongy or trabecular bone marrow found in bones like the vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, and long bones. Flat bones, such as the skull, sternum, and scapula, do not have as much active bone marrow for red blood cell production.
there are several flat bones... The Scapula (shoulder blade), Sternum (breast bone), Cranium (skull), Pelvis and Ribs are all considered to be flat bones.
The sternum is the flat bone that the upper ribs are joined to.
