Labeling the skeletal system can help you learn the names and locations of the bones.
Learning the names and placement of the bones in the skeletal system is an integral part of any anatomy class. Practicing labeling the skeletal system is a great way to learn and remember the intricacies of the human skeleton. With 206 bones creating the framework for the human body, labeling the skeletal system correctly requires patience and a desire to learn and retain the information.
Instructions
1. Break-up the human skeleton into the following sections: axial skeleton, which consists of the skull, sternum, ribs and vertebral column, and the appendicular skeleton, the shoulders and surrounding bones, and the pelvis and surrounding bones.
2. Label each part of the axial skeleton on an unlabeled printout of the human skeleton. Write the name of each bone clearly off to the side and draw a line from the name to the bone to pinpoint the exact location of the bone on the skeleton.
3. Write the name of each bone on a small piece of paper and attach the papers to a model of the skeleton with pushpins or tape.
