OL Lab 6: Skeletal system
Learning Objectives:
· Identify the two divisions of the skeleton.
· Identify the bony features found on bones and identify their functions
In this lab, you will use Anatomy TV to explore the skeletal system and correlate the
anatomical structures to its functions. Please read the instructions before you begin with
the lab.
Instructions:
A. Preliminary steps:
1. Use the link below to log into Anatomy TV via Chamberlain
Library. https://library.chamberlain.edu/az.php?q=.
2. Select Anatomy TV under popular databases to access the site.
3. Select the ‘Skeletal System’ tile:
4. From the skeletal system module, select the interactive learning module on the
left- hand side of the page.
B. Laboratory Steps
Part 1: Analysis of the Skull
1.1 Select the interactive learning: Skull:
Select the interactives circled in red.
1.2- On the image identify and select one anatomical structure at a time.
The region selected will appear highlighted.
1.3- Use the controls at the bottom of the page as required. Follow the recommendations
provided for each structure.
1.4- Take a screenshot of the image or save the image using the download icon
on theright-hand right hand side tab.
1.5- Create a word document titled “lastname_Lab 6”. Import the image into the
document. Use
the functions ‘Insert’ and ‘tool’ (shapes) on word to label the images.
, 1.6- In complete sentences write the functional role of the selected anatomical structure
under the image.
1.7- Save the file before you proceed to the next structure.
1.8- Follow these steps to analyze all the structures listed below.
Facial Bones:
a. Bone: compact bone : provides bone protection and strength
b. Compact bone: lacunae : provide passageways through the
extracellular matrix to central canal of communication
c. Compact bone: osteon : transport blood
d. Periosteum : covers surface of bones and is an attachment for
tendons and muscles
e. Bone: yellow bone marrow : made of fat
f. Endosteum : help bone growth, repair, and remodelling
g. Bone: spongy bone : reduces density of bone
h. Temporal bone: mastoid process : attachment of head muscles
i. Maxilla: alveolar process : holds dental alveoli
j. Zygomatic bone : cheekbones for protection
k. Sphenoid bone: greater wing : helps base and lateral sides of skull
l. Mandible: body : strongest and largest facial bone.
Use the layer controls to remove/add layers ending on layer 1 and rotation controls to
rotate the model to frame 10 for the following structures.
m. Occipital bone : bone at back of skull with opening for spinal cord
n. Sphenoid bone: irregular bone sits under frontal bone and width of
skull forming skulls base
o. Maxilla : upper jaw bone
p. Palatine bone: two L-shaped bones that help to form nasal cavity
