Ciao Bernie, both ossi and ossa are used, but ‘ossi’, is used when you refer to the single elements separately, for instance: gli ossi del piede.

‘Ossa’ instead is used when you refer to the whole body of bones: le ossa del corpo.

Why is the feminine ossa used in this phrase instead of ossi. I find reference to the plural of ossa being either ossa (f) or ossi (m) from online sources. If that is the case then ossi umani e animali would also be correct. What am I not understanding? Thanks.
