To solve this worksheet, we need to identify the major bones in the human skeleton. The lines on the diagram point to specific parts of the body. We will go through them from top to bottom.
Step-by-Step Identification:
1.
Top Line (Head): The line points to the skull. This is the bone structure that protects your brain and gives shape to your face.
2.
Second Line (Shoulder/Chest area): The line points to the collarbone. The scientific name for this is the
clavicle. It connects your arm to your body.
3.
Third Line (Chest): The line points to the cage-like structure in the center of your chest. These are the
ribs. They protect your heart and lungs.
4.
Fourth Line (Upper Arm): The line points to the long bone in your upper arm, between the shoulder and the elbow. This is called the
humerus.
5.
Fifth Line (Lower Arm - Thumb side): The line points to one of the two bones in your forearm. The one on the side of your thumb (the lateral side) is the
radius.
6.
Sixth Line (Lower Arm - Pinky side): The line points to the other bone in your forearm, on the side of your little finger. This is called the
ulna.
7.
Seventh Line (Hip/Pelvis): The large, curved bone structure at the base of your spine is the pelvis or
hip bone.
8.
Eighth Line (Thigh): The line points to the longest and strongest bone in your body, located in your thigh. This is the
femur.
9.
Ninth Line (Shin): The line points to the larger, thicker bone in your lower leg (shin). This is the
tibia.
10.
Tenth Line (Outer Lower Leg): The line points to the thinner bone next to the shin bone. This is the
fibula.
Final Answer:
Here are the names of the bones corresponding to the lines on the worksheet, from top to bottom:
1.
Skull
2.
Clavicle (or Collarbone)
3.
Ribs
4.
Humerus
5.
Radius
6.
Ulna
7.
Pelvis (or Hip Bone)
8.
Femur
9.
Tibia
10.
Fibula
