In this lab, we examined the bones of the axial skeleton (the skull, vertebrae, and ribs).  Because of the large number of pictures, I have divided this review into several different web pages, each devoted to a different section of the skeleton.  On each page, you can click on the pictures to view the full size.  If the full-size images are too large for your computer screen or printer, you can download them to your computer (by right-clicking on the image and choosing "Save Picture As..." to allow you to put the file on your hard drive.  Then you can edit the picture in a paint program or paste it into a program like Microsoft Word for printing.

 

Review Pages - from these pages you should be able to review the structures listed on the ID sheet.  You need to be able to identify all the structures on the ID sheet, even those that don't show up so well on these web pages.
