Bones can be classified based on their shape and function into four main types. Long bones, like the femur and humerus, are cylindrical and support weight while enabling movement. Short bones, such as those in the wrists and ankles, are cube-shaped and provide stability with limited motion.

Flat bones, like the skull and ribs, protect vital organs and serve as attachment points for muscles. Irregular bones, such as the vertebrae, have complex shapes that fit specific roles, including protection and support. Additionally, sesamoid bones, like the patella, develop within tendons to reduce friction and improve mechanical efficiency during movement.
