A)long
B)regular
C)short
D)irregular
E)flat

Accepted Answer

The bones of the wrist include eight small bones called carpal bones, which are classified as short bones due to their shape and structure. Short bones are roughly cube-shaped, with length, width, and height all being relatively similar. This shape makes them suitable for providing stability and support, as well as evenly distributing force and weight.
