Shapes of Bones The images below represent the four different categories of bone shapes (long, short, flat, irregular). Start by determining which bone shape is represented by each of the illustrated bones. Then, for each label, determine the bone shape of the bone listed. Finally, drag and drop each label onto the bone image that has the same category of bone shape as the label. Scaphoid Maxilla Fibula Humerus Temporal bone Sphenoid bone Calcaneus Rib

Procedure: Identifying Bone Shapes Observe a set of disarticulated bones and classify them according to their shape. Identify examples of long, flat, short, and irregular bones, and record them in a table. You may use the figures in your textbook or unit (p.153) to help you identify the disarticulated bones.
