<reasoning>

Identify the bone classification criteria

Using the Bone Classification knowledge point
Bones are classified by shape: long, short, flat, sesamoid, or irregular.

Analyze the structure of vertebrae

Vertebrae have complex, non-uniform shapes with multiple projections and processes.

Match vertebrae to the correct category

Because of their complex shapes, vertebrae do not fit into long, short, flat, or sesamoid categories, classifying them as irregular bones.
