Preparing for the Lab Practical
You will have to identify the bones of the disarticulated skeleton on the practical.
Be as specific as possible! You are responsible for knowing the bone and the
marking as well as whether the bone is on the left or right when applicable.
Examples:
occipital condyle of the occipital bone
xiphoid process of the sternum
external auditory meatus of the right temporal bone
