Scapula is what type of bone?

The scapula is an irregular bone, and is defined as such because it is not a long, short, or thin bone. A long bone is longer than it is wide, for example the femur. Short bones are "cube shaped", such as the cuboid (one of your tarsal bones). Thin bones have a curve to them and are fairly flat, such as your sternum.


The sternum and the skull are examples of which type of bones?

The sternum and the skull are examples of flat bones. These bones are thin and broad, providing protection for internal organs and serving as attachment points for muscles.


What is a lightweight bone filled with spaces?

A lightweight bone filled with spaces is likely to be a cancellous or spongy bone. This type of bone tissue has a honeycomb-like structure with many small cavities that are filled with bone marrow. Cancellous bone is found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of flat bones.


What is the comparison of the long bone and flat bone?

Flat bones have broad surfaces for protection of organs and attachment of muscles (ex. ribs, cranial bones, bones of shoulder girdle).Long bones are longer than they are wide and work as levers. The bones of the upper and lower extremities (ex. humerus, tibia, femur, ulna, metacarpals, etc.) are of this type At birth, all bone marrow is red. But in an adult, most red blood cells are produced in the flat bones, which still have red marrow. The long bones gradually fill with yellow marrow.


What type of bone is the diaphysis of a long bone?

You have a primary cartilaginous joint between epiphysis and diaphysis. There is a plate of cartilage between the two. That make it possible for the bone to grow in length. This plate of cartilage is replaced by the bone tissue as the growth ceases.

Does the law of reflection apply to curved and flat mirrors?

The law of reflection is valid for any ray of light. So it is also valid for curved and flat surfaces. For curved surfaces, the normal is taken as the normal to the tangent of the point where the light ray hits the surface.
