What type of bones are found in the skull?

  1. Long bones

  2. Short bones

  3. Flat bones

  4. Irregular bones

The correct answer is: Flat bones

Flat bones are a type of bone found in the skull. They are thin and flat, providing protection for the brain and creating a surface for muscle attachment. Long bones, such as femur and humerus, are found in the limbs and are responsible for movement. Short bones are cube-shaped and found in the wrists and ankles, aiding in flexibility. Irregular bones, such as vertebrae, have a unique shape and are primarily found in the spinal column. However, none of these bones are found in the skull, making them incorrect options for the question.
