Labeling: The Skeletal System Label the skeleton using the words below.Word Bank:tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges (2) , radius, ulna, femur, humerus, sacrum, coccyx, lumbar vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, cervical vertebrae, pelvis, patella, skull, ribs, sternum, mandible, clavicle, scapula, calcaneus skull mandible clavicle scapula sternum ribs ulna radius femur patella Tibia Fibula calcaneus thoracic vertebrae cervical vertebrae coccyx sacrum pelvis lumbar vertebrae humerus phalanges metacarpals carpals tarsals metatarsals phalanges Axial v Appendicular Sort the bones into their appropriate groups. Axial skull ribs sternum vertebrae trunk neck Appendicular scapula arms clavicle legs coxal bones Skull Label Label the parts of the skull using the words below.Word Bank:Frontal bone Mandible Zygomatic Maxilla Parietal bone Squamous sutureOccipital bone Lambdoid suture Coronal sutureTemporal bone Coronal suture Frontal bone Maxilla Mandible Parietal bone Squamous suture Lambdoid suture Occipital bone Temporal bone Zygomatic Sorting: Bone Shapes Place the characteristics underneath the proper bone classification Long Longer in length than width Curved for strength Femur Metacarpals Short Nearly equal in length than width carpals tarsals Flat ribs sternum skull bones Thin bones Functions in protection and extensive surfaces for muscle attachments Irregular Compllex shapes vertebrae sacrum facial bones Seasmoid patella bone embedded in tendons
