What are short bones   About as broad as they are long, these tend to be shaped like cubes. (example: carpal bones of the wrist and the tarsal bones of the ankle)  
🗑
What are flat bones   These thin, flat, often curved bones protect organs, such as the bones of the skull, the ribs, and the breastbone (sternum)  
🗑
