Our bone types flashcards are a fun and interactive way to learn about different types of bones in the human body. Each card features an English word on one side, accompanied by its definition on the other side. With audio pronunciation included, these flashcards are an excellent resource for students studying anatomy and physiology. Get ready to ace your bone types exam with these engaging flashcards!
Bones are classified into four main types: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Long bones, such as the femur in the leg, are longer than they are wide, providing support and mobility. Short bones, such as those found in the wrist and ankle, are cube-shaped and help with movement and stability. Flat bones, like the skull and ribs, protect vital organs and provide a broad surface for muscle attachment. Irregular bones, such as the vertebrae, have complex shapes and support various body structures. Each type of bone plays a crucial role in the body’s structure and function.

quick facts
There are five main types of bones in the human body: long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, and sesamoid bones.
Long bones, such as the femur in the thigh, are designed for both support and movement.
Short bones, such as those found in the wrist and ankle, provide stability and support.
Flat bones, like those in the skull and ribs, protect organs and provide a large surface area for muscle attachment.
Irregular bones, such as the vertebrae in the spine, have complex shapes and functions.

Definition
Long bones
Long bones are bones that are longer than they are wide, with a shaft and two ends.
Short bones
Short bones are small and cube-shaped bones found in the wrist and ankle that provide support and stability.
Flat bones
Flat bones are thin, flat bones that provide protection and support for internal organs.
Irregular bones
Irregular bones have complex shapes and do not fit into other bone categories.
Sesamoid bones
Small, round bones found in tendons, usually near joints.
