Answer:

11. Carpals (c)

12. Heart and Lungs

Answer:

11) C carpals

There are 32 short bones in the human skeleton. Typically, short bones facilitate movement and strength in the complex joints of the wrist and ankles by sliding and shifting against each other. The carpals (wrist bones), tarsals (ankle and heel bones), and the patella (kneecap) are all short bones.

12) B heart

The sternum, or breastbone, is a long flat bone in the center of the chest. It protects the heart and also serves as the connection point for the costal cartilage. The clavicle, or collarbone, extends across the front of the shoulder from the sternum to the scapula, or shoulder blade.
