True or False: All long bones in your body are longer than all short bones in your body.

Question

 True or False: All long bones in your body are longer than all short bones in your body.

Answer 1

It is important to note that a long bone is not differentiated from a short bone by how long it is. A long bone is identified by being longer in length then it is in width (femur, tibia). While a short bone is cube-like with similar length and width (metacarpals). 

 

Please use this information and look at a skeletal bone map and see if any of the short bones are longer than any of the long bones. If not, the answer will be True. If so, then it would be False.
