Verified step by step guidance

Understand the classification of bones based on their shape and function. Bones are categorized into four main types: long bones, short bones, irregular bones, and flat bones.

Recall the characteristics of long bones. These bones are longer than they are wide and primarily function in movement and support. Examples include the femur and humerus.

Review the characteristics of short bones. These bones are roughly cube-shaped and provide stability and support with limited movement. Examples include the carpals and tarsals.

Examine the characteristics of irregular bones. These bones have complex shapes that do not fit into other categories. Examples include the vertebrae and some facial bones.

Consider the characteristics of flat bones. These bones are thin, flattened, and often curved, providing protection and areas for muscle attachment. Examples include the sternum and skull bones.
