What type of bones are the carpals?
What type of bone is the parietal?
What type of bone is the femur?
What type of bone is the mandible/jaw?
What type of bone is the sacrum?
The main goal of irregular bones is also to protect internal organs. Examples: the vertebrae, pubis, ilium, and ischium.
Irregular bones vary in shape and structure and therefore do not fit into any other category.
The main goal of sesamoid bones is to reinforce tendons. Sesamoid bones are bones embedded in tendons. These small, round bones are commonly found in the tendons of the hands, knees, and feet. examples: patella.
The main goal of short bones is to provide stability and some movement. examples: carpals in the wrist, tarsals in the ankles.
The main goal of long bones is to support weight and facilitate movement. Examples: tibia, fibula, femur, metatarsals, humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals
The main goal of flat bones is to protect organs and attachment sites for muscles. examples: skull , sternum, ribs, pelvis .
