Let’s go step by step to label the skeleton correctly using the words from the table.

We’ll start at the top of the skeleton and work our way down, matching each bone to its correct name.

---

Head area:

- The big round bone on top → Skull
- The jawbone below it → Mandible

---

Shoulder and chest area:

- The collarbones (left and right) → Clavicle
- The shoulder blades (behind the ribs) → Scapula
- The breastbone in the center of the chest → Sternum
- The curved bones around the chest → Ribcage
- The long backbone running down the middle → Spine

---

Arms:

- Upper arm bone (from shoulder to elbow) → Humerus
- Forearm bones:
- Thumb side → Radius
- Pinky side → Ulna
- Wrist bones → Carpals
- Hand bones (palm) → Metacarpals
- Finger bones → Phalanges

---

Pelvis and legs:

- Hip bones → Pelvis
- Thigh bone (longest bone in body) → Femur
- Knee cap is not listed, so skip.
- Lower leg bones:
- Shin bone (front, thicker) → Tibia
- Outer thin bone → Fibula
- Ankle bones → Tarsals
- Foot bones (arch/sole) → Metatarsals
- Toe bones → Phalanges (same word as fingers — that’s okay!)

---

Now let’s match these to the lines on the diagram. Since we can’t see the exact line positions, we’ll assume standard labeling order from top to bottom, left to right, based on common worksheets.

But since the task says “label the diagram using the words from the table”, and the table has duplicates (like Pelvis and Phalanges appear twice), we just need to assign each term to the correct bone location.

Let’s list all unique terms from the table:

From the table:
- Pelvis (appears twice)
- Scapula
- Mandible
- Metatarsals
- Skull
- Metacarpals
- Phalanges (appears twice)
- Carpals
- Humerus
- Clavicle
- Tibia
- Fibula
- Femur
- Ribcage
- Tarsals
- Radius
- Ulna
- Sternum
- Spine

That’s 19 terms. The skeleton diagram likely has 19 lines to label.

Now, here’s how to assign them logically:

Top to bottom:

1. Skull → head
2. Mandible → jaw
3. Clavicle → collarbone (left or right)
4. Scapula → shoulder blade (back, but often labeled on front view too)
5. Sternum → center chest
6. Ribcage → ribs
7. Spine → backbone
8. Humerus → upper arm
9. Radius → forearm (thumb side)
10. Ulna → forearm (pinky side)
11. Carpals → wrist
12. Metacarpals → palm
13. Phalanges → fingers
14. Pelvis → hip bones
15. Femur → thigh
16. Tibia → shin
17. Fibula → outer lower leg
18. Tarsals → ankle
19. Metatarsals → foot sole
20. Phalanges → toes ← wait, that’s 20? But table only has 19 entries? Let’s count again.

Wait — the table has 3 columns × 7 rows = 21 cells, but some are repeated.

Actual unique labels needed: 19 distinct bone names, but “Pelvis” and “Phalanges” are used twice because they refer to two different areas (hips and hands/feet).

So total labels to place: probably 20 lines? Or maybe 19? Doesn’t matter — we just match each bone to its name.

Since this is a worksheet, the expected answer is to write the correct term next to each line pointing to a bone.

But since I can’t draw on the image, I’ll give you the full labeled list in order from top to bottom, assuming standard labeling:

---

✔ Final Labeling (in typical order from top to bottom, left to right):

1. Skull
2. Mandible
3. Clavicle
4. Scapula
5. Sternum
6. Ribcage
7. Spine
8. Humerus
9. Radius
10. Ulna
11. Carpals
12. Metacarpals
13. Phalanges (fingers)
14. Pelvis
15. Femur
16. Tibia
17. Fibula
18. Tarsals
19. Metatarsals
20. Phalanges (toes)

Note: “Phalanges” is used for both fingers and toes — that’s correct anatomy!

Also, “Pelvis” might be labeled once for the whole hip structure — even though it appears twice in the table, it’s one bone group.

In many worksheets, they may have 19 lines — so perhaps one “Phalanges” covers both, or they expect you to use it twice.

But since the table includes “Phalanges” twice, you should use it for both hands and feet.

Same with “Pelvis” — if there are two lines pointing to left and right hip, use “Pelvis” for both.

Final Answer:
Label the skeleton as follows (matching each line to the correct bone name from the table):

- Head: Skull, Mandible
- Shoulders/Chest: Clavicle, Scapula, Sternum, Ribcage, Spine
- Arms: Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges
- Hips/Legs: Pelvis, Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Tarsals, Metatarsals, Phalanges

Use each word from the table exactly as many times as it appears (e.g., “Pelvis” twice, “Phalanges” twice).
