The patella is a(n) _____________bone found in the ___________________. (2 points)

long; appendicular skeleton
irregular; appendicular skeleton
flat; axial skeleton
short; axial skeleton

It's not in the axial skeleton, so it has to be one of the first two answer choices! Both are technically wrong, though! The patella is NEITHER long NOR irregular. It's sesamoid! So which answer should I choose to get it marked correct in the test??? Can someone who took it help me please!
