APPENDICULAR SKELETON

Several bones forming part of the upper limb and/or shoulder girdle are shown
in Figures 5-8 to 5-11. Follow the specific directions for each figure.

1-Identify the bone in Figure 5-8. Insert your answer in the blank below the
illustration. Select different colors for each structure listed below and use
them to color the coding circles and the corresponding structures in the
diagram. Then, label the angles indicated by leader lines.

6 - Figure 5-11 is a diagram of the articulated pelvis. Identify the bones and
bone markings indicated by leader lines on the figure. Select different colors
for the structures listed below and use them to color the coding circles and
the corresponding structures in the figure. Also, label the dashed line show­
ing the dimensions of the true pelvis and that showing the diameter of the
false pelvis. Complete the illustration by labeling the following bone mark­
ings: obturator foramen, iliac crest, anterior superior iliac spine, ischial spine,
pubic ramus, and pelvic brim. Last, list three ways in which the female pelvis
differs from the male pelvis and insert your answers in the answer blanks.
