Bony Landmark Analysis and Bone Identification

BONY LANDMARK ANALYSIS and BONE IDENTIFICATION

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Help Tom McCune with this case by finding the bones that have all the landmarks described below. Get an image of the bone, preferably unlabeled ones, and paste the image in a Word document file. Be sure to document the source of the image so you don’t commit plagiarism.

2. Next identify the landmarks (A, B, C, etc.) by taping a corresponding letter on the part of the bone described. For example:

Assuming you have identified the bone as “calcaneus” draw an arrow pointing to the bone an label the arrow as “calcaneus.”

Image source: http://footdoc.org/resources/heel-pain-heel-spurs/ accessed on (indicate the actual date when you accessed the site anc copied the image)

3. Then, write the name of the bone that you believe is appropriate and indicate how many of that same bone a complete skeleton should have.

4. Finally, describe the location of this bone type in the body. You may want to include other interesting features of each bone.

Here are the 22 bones that you need to identify. You may copy and paste the form in a new file and paste the image of the bone next to the identification information. If the images are too large, re-size the images to approximately the same size so that your document is neat and easily accessible even with slower computer.
