What are four categories of bone by shape?

Bones can be classified into four main categories by shape: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Long bones, such as the femur, are characterized by their length and are primarily found in the limbs. Short bones, like the carpals in the wrist, are roughly cube-shaped and provide stability and support. Flat bones, such as the skull and ribs, serve protective functions, while irregular bones, like the vertebrae, have complex shapes that serve various purposes in the body.
