ACTIVITY 1: BONY LANDMARK ANALYSIS

Help Tom McCune with this case by finding the bones that have all the landmarks described below.

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

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.

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