To solve this problem, we need to match the numbers on the skeleton diagram (blue circles) with the correct bone names from the list on the left.
Here is the step-by-step matching process:
1.
Number 1 points to the skull. The list says
Cranium.
2.
Number 2 points to the jawbone. The list says
Mandible.
3.
Number 3 points to the collarbone. The list says
Clavicle.
4.
Number 4 points to the shoulder blade. The list says
Scapula.
5.
Number 5 points to the breastbone in the center of the chest. The list says
Sternum.
6.
Number 6 points to the ribs protecting the chest organs. The list says
Rib cage.
7.
Number 7 points to the upper arm bone. The list says
Humerus.
8.
Number 8 points to the spine/backbones. The list says
Vertebrae.
9.
Number 9 points to the hip bone. The list says
Pelvic bone.
10.
Number 10 points to the outer forearm bone (thumb side). The list says
Radius.
11.
Number 11 points to the inner forearm bone (pinky side). The list says
Ulna.
12.
Number 12 points to the wrist bones. The list says
Carpals.
13.
Number 13 points to the hand/palm bones. The list says
Metacarpals.
14.
Number 14 points to the finger bones. The list says
Phalanges.
15.
Number 15 points to the thigh bone (the longest bone). The list says
Femur.
16.
Number 16 points to the kneecap. The list says
Patella.
17.
Number 17 points to the shin bone (inner lower leg). The list says
Tibia.
18.
Number 18 points to the calf bone (outer lower leg). The list says
Fibula.
*(Note: In the diagram, line 17 points to the Tibia and line 18 points to the Fibula, but looking closely at the lines: Line 17 touches the wider inner bone which is the Tibia. Line 18 touches the thinner outer bone which is the Fibula. Let's re-verify the standard numbering vs the image lines.
- Line 17 points to the medial (inner) bone of the lower leg -> Tibia.
- Line 18 points to the lateral (outer) bone of the lower leg -> Fibula.
- Wait, let's look at the labels again. Label 17 is Fibula, Label 18 is Tibia. Let's trace carefully.
- Dot 17 is on the outer lower leg bone. That is the
Fibula.
- Dot 18 is on the inner lower leg bone (shin). That is the
Tibia.
- So, 17 = Fibula, 18 = Tibia.)*
19.
Number 19 points to the ankle bones. The list says
Tarsals.
20.
Number 20 points to the foot bones (before toes). The list says
Metatarsals.
21.
Number 21 points to the toe bones. The list says
Phalanges.
Final Answer:
1. Cranium
2. Mandible
3. Clavicle
4. Scapula
5. Sternum
6. Rib cage
7. Humerus
8. Vertebrae
9. Pelvic bone
10. Radius
11. Ulna
12. Carpals
13. Metacarpals
14. Phalanges
15. Femur
16. Patella
17. Fibula
18. Tibia
19. Tarsals
20. Metatarsals
21. Phalanges
