Question

question 24
an example of a long bone would be:
a a rib
b the clavicle
c the tibia
d the sternum
e a carpal bone

Explanation:

• Rib (A): Ribs are classified as flat bones. They are thin and curved, providing protection to the thoracic cavity.
• Clavicle (B): The clavicle is a long bone. However, it is a special - type long bone (it has a different shape compared to typical long bones like the tibia). But in the context of standard long - bone examples in anatomy, the tibia is more straightforward.
• Tibia (C): The tibia (shin bone) is a classic example of a long bone. Long bones have a long shaft (diaphysis) and two ends (epiphyses). The tibia fits this description well.
• Sternum (D): The sternum is a flat bone. It is a broad, flat bone that forms the anterior part of the thoracic cage.
• Carpal bone (E): Carpal bones are short bones. They are cube - shaped and found in the wrist.

Answer:

C. the tibia
