Introduction
The skeletal system is the support structure for the body. There are 206 bones, divided into the axial and appendicular skeletons.

This lab will teach you all the bones in the body and the major bone markings. Bone markings are holes, ridges, projections, etc. that serve as attachments for muscles, and provide routes for blood vessels and nerves.

Activity 1: Virtual Axial Skeleton Lab
The virtual skeleton laboratory will teach the bones of the axial skeletal division and the major bone markings.

Virtual Axial Skeleton Lab (opens new window)

Click on the lab and go through all of the sections. Although you will be learning all of the bones, we have limited the bone markings to the major ones.

Please see the Module 2 Lab Study Objectives for all of the axial skeleton markings you are responsible for. You are not required to learn any markings in the virtual lab that are not on this list.
