To match the terms with their corresponding functions, let's first understand the characteristics and functions of each type of bone:

  1. Flat bones: These bones are typically thin and often curved. They provide protection to internal organs and act as points of attachment for muscles. Examples include the skull, ribs, and sternum.
  2. Short bones: These bones are as wide as they are long, providing stability and support with limited motion. Examples include the carpals and tarsals.
  3. Sesamoid bones: These are small, round bones embedded within tendons. They protect tendons from compressive forces. The patella (kneecap) is a common example.
  4. Long bones: These bones are longer than they are wide and function to support the weight of the body and facilitate movement. Examples include the femur, tibia, and humerus.
  5. Irregular bones: These bones have complex shapes that do not fit into the other categories. They often have a variety of functions, including protecting internal organs. Examples include the vertebrae and certain facial bones.

Now, let's match the terms with their corresponding functions:

  1. Flat bones: :: act as points of attachment for muscles & :: protects internal organs
  2. Short bones: :: provides stability, support, while allowing for some motion
  3. Sesamoid bones: :: protect tendons from compressive forces
  4. Long bones: :: provide leverage
  5. Irregular bones: :: protects internal organs

Summarized answer:

  • Flat bones: act as points of attachment for muscles & protects internal organs
  • Short bones: provides stability, support, while allowing for some motion
  • Sesamoid bones: protect tendons from compressive forces
  • Long bones: provide leverage
  • Irregular bones: protects internal organs
