✔✔pelvis - ✔✔the structure of the vertebrate skeleton supporting the lower limbs in
humans and the hind limbs or corresponding parts in other vertebrates; consists of
sacrum and os coxa
✔✔carpals - ✔✔8 bones of the wrist
✔✔metacarpals - ✔✔the 5 bones that form the palms of the hand

✔✔sacral vertebrae - ✔✔5 vertebrae which are fused to form the sacrum in the pelvis
(S1-S5)
✔✔pubis - ✔✔one of the three sections of the hipbone; together the two pubic bones
form the front of the pelvis
✔✔femur - ✔✔the longest and thickest bone of the human skeleton; upper leg bone
extending from the pelvis to the knee
✔✔patella - ✔✔a small flat triangular bone in front of the knee that protects the knee
joint; kneecap; covers the junction between the proximal tibia and the distal femur
✔✔tibia - ✔✔the inner and thicker of the two bones of the human leg between the knee
and ankle (shin bone)
✔✔fibula - ✔✔the outer and thinner of the two bones of the human leg between the
knee and ankle (smaller lower leg bone)
✔✔tarsals - ✔✔7 bones that make up the ankle
✔✔metatarsals - ✔✔bones of the foot between ankle and toes
✔✔skull - ✔✔entire bony head including face and mandible; 28 bones including ear
ossicles
✔✔cranium - ✔✔skull excluding the mandible
✔✔calvaria - ✔✔cranium without the face
✔✔ear ossicles - ✔✔-in middle ear, three tiny bones, vibrate against one another in
response to vibrations from the eardrum- malleus, incus, stapes
, ✔✔parietal bones - ✔✔form most of the roof and upper sides of the cranium, two of the
6 main cranial bones; paired bones
✔✔temporal bones - ✔✔two of the six main cranial bones; located on the side of the
head near the ears, form the sides and base of the cranium; paired bones
✔✔palatine bones - ✔✔form part of the hard palate of the mouth and the floor of the
nose; paired bones
✔✔zygomatic bones - ✔✔cheekbones; paired bones
✔✔nasal bones - ✔✔Form the bridge of the nose; paired bones
✔✔lacrimal bones - ✔✔paired bones at the corner of each eye that cradle the tear ducts
✔✔inferior nasal conchae - ✔✔paired, curved bones in the nasal cavity that form part of
the lateral walls of the nasal cavity
✔✔frontal bones - ✔✔Forms the forehead, skulls roof, and eye socket; unpaired bone
✔✔occipital bones - ✔✔forms the posterior part and most of the base of the cranium;
unpaired bone
✔✔sphenoid bone - ✔✔butterfly-shaped bone at the base of the skull that extends
behind the eyes and forms part of the base of the skull; unpaired bone
✔✔ethmoid bone - ✔✔one of the eight bones of the cranium; filled with air spaces that
forms part of the eye sockets and the nasal cavity; unpaired bone
✔✔vomer bone - ✔✔flat thin bone that forms part of the nasal septum; unpaired bone
✔✔mandible - ✔✔the lower jawbone in vertebrates; unpaired bone
✔✔lambdoidal suture - ✔✔at the back of the skull, separating the occipital from the
temporal and parietal bones
✔✔squamosal suture - ✔✔on the lateral surface of the skull, separates the parietal from
the temporal bone
✔✔lambda - ✔✔the craniometric point at the junction of the sagittal and lamboid sutures
of the skull
