Feedback:
Flat bones are composed of a layer of cancellous bone between two layers of compact bone. They are found in areas such as the skull and rib cage, where extensive protection of underlying structures is needed, or as in the scapula, where a broad surface for muscle attachment must be provided. Vertebrae are irregular bones, while the metatarsal bones and the femur are long bones.
