THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Complete all worksheet questions as you make observations on the model of the skeleton. Then
save this file as ‘Lastname_SkeletalWorksheet’ and submit for grading within your course
module. Each table item is worth 1 point for a total of up to 20 points possible.

Size of cervical vertebrae in Thoracic vertebrae are larger than those in the

Lumbar vertebrae have a triangular foramen.
