Hands On Lab 5: Appendicular Skeletal System
Submission instructions: Type your answers and copy all pictures directly into this Word document. Submit it via the blackboard submission link in Word format (docx).
Introduction:
We reviewed the major features of the axial skeleton in the previous lab and will now look at the bones that make up the upper and lower limbs of the body, our appendages.
This lab will teach you the appendicular skeleton as well as review your bone markings from the previous lab. Remember that bone markings are holes, ridges, projections, etc. that serve as attachments for muscles, and provide routes for blood vessels and nerves.
*If you would like to use the Connect Practice Atlas, please look at the intro to lab 4 for where to find it.
Watch these:
Bozeman Science: The Skeleton (link opens in new window-7:59): generalized view of the skeletal system and includes physiology.
Skeleton Dance (link opens in new window-5:11) Need a break from all that studying? Watch this silly Skeleton Dance from Walt Disney, it’s a classic (1929).
In Lab 4, there were 2 Crash Course skeletal video links if you’d like to review those.
Activity 1: Virtual Appendicular Skeleton Lab
The virtual skeleton laboratory will teach the bones of each skeletal division and the major bone markings.
