Short bones-their main purposes are to provide support and stability.
The tarsals of the ankle are the calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, and the three cuneiform bones. The carpal bones of the wrist are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, hamate, capitate, and trapezoid.
about 36Depending on the definition of the subject, the most simple answer to this question is: 3The two bones of the lower leg: the tibia and the fibula, and the connecting foot-bone: the talus.
Carpal bones are found in the wrist, while tarsal bones are found in the ankle. Carpal bones are more numerous (8) compared to tarsal bones (7). Carpal bones are involved in wrist movement and support, while tarsal bones support the ankle and foot.
The short bones in the human skeletal system include the bones of the wrist (carpals) and ankle (tarsals). These bones are roughly cube-shaped and provide support and stability to the joints they are a part of.
The bumps at the ankle are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The medial malleolus is formed by the tibia, and the lateral malleolus by the fibula. The medial wrist bump is formed by the styloid process of the ulna, and the lateral wrist bump by the styloid process of the radius.
Bones of the wrist and the ankle are called shortbones

Wrist bones.
no, they aren't even long. An example of a long bone is the femur.

tarsals
Pojno and maleolo are the Esperanto words for wrist and ankle.
The scientific name for the wrist is carpus, and for the ankle, it is tarsus.
The ankle-bone is called the talus. It sits below the two leg bones, the tibia and the fibula.
