To solve this worksheet, we need to identify the major bones of the human skeleton. The lines point to specific bones from the head down to the feet. Here is the breakdown of what each line is pointing to, going generally from top to bottom:
Head and Neck:
1.
Skull (or Cranium): The large bone structure protecting the brain.
2.
Mandible (or Jawbone): The lower part of the skull that moves when you talk or eat.
3.
Cervical Vertebrae: The small bones in the neck that connect the skull to the rest of the spine.
Upper Body (Torso and Arms):
4.
Clavicle (or Collarbone): The horizontal bone at the top of the chest connecting the arm to the body.
5.
Scapula (or Shoulder Blade): The triangular bone behind the shoulder.
6.
Sternum (or Breastbone): The flat bone in the center of the chest where the ribs attach.
7.
Ribs: The curved bones that form a cage around the chest organs.
8.
Humerus: The long bone in the upper arm (between the shoulder and elbow).
9.
Radius: One of the two bones in the forearm (on the thumb side).
10.
Ulna: The other bone in the forearm (on the pinky finger side).
11.
Carpals: The small wrist bones.
12.
Metacarpals: The bones inside the palm of the hand.
13.
Phalanges (Fingers): The bones that make up the fingers.
Lower Body (Hips and Legs):
14.
Pelvis (or Hip Bone): The large, bowl-shaped bone structure at the base of the spine.
15.
Femur: The long, strong bone in the thigh (upper leg). It is the longest bone in the body.
16.
Patella (or Kneecap): The small, round bone covering the front of the knee joint.
17.
Tibia (or Shinbone): The larger, thicker bone in the lower leg (inner side).
18.
Fibula: The thinner bone in the lower leg (outer side).
19.
Tarsals: The ankle bones.
20.
Metatarsals: The long bones in the foot leading to the toes.
21.
Phalanges (Toes): The bones that make up the toes.
