There are actually five basic shapes for bones: 1. Long bones - examples: humerus or femur 2. Short bones - examples: carpels and tarsals 3. Flat bones - example: sternum 4. Irregular bones - example:: vertebra in the spine 5. Sesamoid bones - example: patella
Carpals, the wrist bones, are flat.
pelvis, sorry that's all i can think of.|: The ribs and the skull are also flat bones. Flat bones protect vital organs and they are not actually flat.
Bones classified into four groups. Long bones,Short bones,Flat bones, and Irregular bones
No flat bones don't not have tissue it has marrow to support it.
All bones of skull are flat bones,which are frontal,parietal,ocipital,temporal bones,sphenoid,ethmoid,zygomatic.
No. Flat bones consist of spongy bone sandwiched between compact bone.
Yes, the skull is an example of an irregular bone. Irregular bones do not fit into the other categories of bone shapes (long, short, flat, or sesamoid) and have complex shapes with varying functions. The skull is made up of several irregularly shaped bones that protect the brain and support facial structures.
No, ankle bones are not classified as flat bones. The ankle consists of several types of bones, including the talus and calcaneus, which are classified as irregular bones due to their complex shapes. Flat bones, such as the sternum or skull bones, are typically thin and provide protection or surface area for muscle attachment.
flat bones
Examples of flat bones in the human body include the skull bones, sternum (breastbone), scapulae (shoulder blades), and ribs. These bones provide extensive surface area for muscle attachment and protection for underlying organs.
The small flat odd-shaped bones found between some of the large flat bones of the skull are called sutural (Wormian) bones. These bones vary in number and size among individuals and are formed from additional ossification centers. They are considered accessory bones of the skull.
