1. Chap 7 – The Skeleton Learning Objectives:
Name and describe the bones of the skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage, shoulder, hip, arm, and leg. Name and describe the important markings on these bones as well as any sutures.
Describe vertebrae structure and distinguish between cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae.
Differentiate between true and false ribs.
Begin reading Chap 7 pgs 125 – 143. Complete questions on pgs 133 – 134, pg 135, pg 139, and 143 – 144.)

2. PREDICT How many bones in the skull?
NOTE: The skull is the cranium plus facial bones (including jaw)
Answer: 22

3. Cranium
Eight major cranial bones – ___ parietal, ___ temporal, frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid
Also contains ‘minor’ bones of the middle ear (we will study those later in Chap 10 – The Nervous System)
Cranial bones are ____ and remarkably strong for their weight

4. Anterior View, pg 129
Label the cranial bones (ones that are encircled in red) ONLY for now!

5. Posterior View
Label red encircled structure ONLY for now. It is the last of the cranial bones.

6. Quick Check 1. How many bones in just the cranium?
2. List the main bones of the cranium in your notes now.
