What bones of the appendages are NOT considered long bones?

Question

Could you please name the bones of the appendages that would NOT be considered long bones...? What are their technical and common names ??

I was thinking that the "short bones" "flat bones" and "irregular bones" would be the answer, but I need to know if it is right, or what the right answer is.

Thankyou for your help

Answer 1

carpals and metacarpals (bones of the wrist and hand), tarsals and metatarsals (bones of the feet and ankles), phalanges (bones of the fingers and toes), patella (kneecap)

Answer 2

The bones of the hand (NOT the phalanges!) to include:

Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate

The bones of the foot (trasals) to include:
calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuneiform, cuboid

And the patella, of course.

Answer 3

humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula, phalanges, metacarpals and metatarsals are long;

patella (kneecap) is a sesamoid bone, not long

carpal (wrist) and tarsal (ankle) bones are not long bones either


nor are the os coxae (hip) bones...they are part of pelvic girdle, irregular bone

Answer 4

The patella (Kneecap) and the phalanges (Fingers and toes).

Answer 5

Patella / kneecap
