Let’s solve this step by step.
We need to label each part of the skeleton using the words from the Word Bank. The Word Bank has these terms:
- Sternum
- Ribs
- Humerus
- Skull
- Femur
- Spine
- Tibia
- Radius
- Ulna
- Pelvis
Now, let’s look at each line pointing to a bone and match it with the correct name.
1.
Top line pointing to the head → That’s the
Skull. It holds the brain and makes up the face.
2.
Line pointing to the chest area, center → That’s the
Sternum. It’s the breastbone in the middle of your chest.
3.
Lines pointing to the curved bones around the chest → Those are the
Ribs. They protect your heart and lungs.
4.
Line pointing to the long bone in the upper arm → That’s the
Humerus. It goes from shoulder to elbow.
5.
Line pointing to the backbone running down the back → That’s the
Spine. It supports your body and protects the spinal cord.
6.
Line pointing to the hip bone area → That’s the
Pelvis. It connects your legs to your torso.
7.
Line pointing to the long bone in the thigh → That’s the
Femur. It’s the longest bone in your body!
8.
Line pointing to the shin bone (front of lower leg) → That’s the
Tibia. It’s the bigger bone in your lower leg.
9.
Line pointing to the outer bone in the forearm (when palm is forward) → That’s the
Ulna. It’s on the pinky side.
10.
Line pointing to the inner bone in the forearm (when palm is forward) → That’s the
Radius. It’s on the thumb side.
Wait — let’s double-check the forearm bones. In the diagram, the skeleton’s arms are raised with palms facing forward. So:
- The bone on the thumb side (outer when arm is out) =
Radius
- The bone on the pinky side (inner when arm is out) =
Ulna
Looking at the lines:
- One line points to the bone closer to the thumb → that’s
Radius
- One line points to the bone closer to the pinky → that’s
Ulna
Also, we have two lines on the legs:
- One points to the thigh →
Femur
- One points to the shin →
Tibia
And one line points to the hip →
Pelvis
One more: the spine is clearly labeled going down the back.
Let’s list all 10 labels based on position:
Starting from top:
1. Head →
Skull
2. Chest center →
Sternum
3. Curved chest bones →
Ribs
4. Upper arm →
Humerus
5. Back column →
Spine
6. Hip area →
Pelvis
7. Thigh →
Femur
8. Shin →
Tibia
9. Forearm (thumb side) →
Radius
10. Forearm (pinky side) →
Ulna
All 10 words from the bank are used once. Perfect.
Final Answer:
Skull, Sternum, Ribs, Humerus, Spine, Pelvis, Femur, Tibia, Radius, Ulna
