Adapted from the Pearson Lab Manual
Appendicular Skeleton Lab
Objective: The learner will be able to
-Identify all the bones of the appendicular skeleton
-name all bony landmark articulations for each bone based on the lab handout list
-arrange bones of a disarticulated skeleton in anatomical position that forms an entire skeleton.
Prelab Quiz:
1. Circle the correct answer. The Pectoral/pelvic girdle is the bones that form the joint for the femur.
2. The arm consists of the
a. humerus b. tibia c. radius d. carpals
3. The longest bone in the lower body is the
a. tibia b. Fibula c. radius d. tarsals
4. The sesamoid bone found in the lower appendage is the
a. tarsal b. Cuboid c. Patella d. Cuneiform
5. The total number of bones found in the foot is
a. 22 b. 16 c. 7 d. 26
Activity
For each of the following bones, copy and paste or draw a picture of each. Include several views of each
bone. Label the bony landmarks that are listed on the lab handout list. (Bone Chart)
Bones to include: Clavicle, Scapula, Humerus, Radius, Ulna, the hand articulated (carpals, metacarpals,
phalanges), Coxal bone (differentiate between the ilium, ischium, and pubis), femur, tibia, fibula, the
foot articulate (talas, calcaneus, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges. and patella.
