Irregular bones serve many purposes in the body. For example, the vertebrae in our spine are considered irregular bones. They provide protection for the spinal cord and allow humans to stand upright. The mandible, or lower jaw bone, is also a good example of an irregular bone. It contributes to chewing and breaking down of food.
