dissect submit answer

Explanation:

Short bones in the human skeleton are typically cube - shaped and include bones like those in the wrist (carpals) or ankle (tarsals). In the given skeletal model, the bones of the wrist (carpals) or ankle (tarsals) would be short bones. For example, the carpal bones (in the wrist) are short bones. So we can select a carpal bone (part of the wrist) or a tarsal bone (part of the ankle) as the short bone.

Answer:

A short bone can be a carpal bone (e.g., one of the wrist bones) or a tarsal bone (e.g., one of the ankle bones). In the given skeletal model, we can select a bone from the wrist (carpal) or ankle (tarsal) region as the short bone.
