Flat bones have thin, parallel - like surfaces of compact bone with spongy bone in between. They are strong yet light and form parts such as the roof of the skull, sternum, ribs, and scapulae. Long bones are mainly for support and movement and are longer than they are wide. Irregular bones have complex shapes and do not fit into other categories. Sutural bones are small, irregular bones found within the sutures of the skull.
