Flat bones are thin and curved. They serve as attachment points for muscles and protect internal organs. For example, the skull bones protect the brain, and the ribs protect the thoracic cavity organs. Irregular bones have complex shapes (e.g., vertebrae). Short bones are cube - shaped (e.g., carpals in the wrist). Long bones are longer than they are wide (e.g., femur).
