This document is a laboratory worksheet for BIL 161 Anatomy at La Salle University, focused on the axial skeleton. It’s designed for students to apply their understanding of skeletal anatomy through identification and labeling exercises.
This worksheet is a core component of the lab portion of the course, requiring students to actively engage with skeletal models and diagrams. It’s likely used during a scheduled lab session and submitted for grading, demonstrating practical knowledge of bone structures. It’s intended to reinforce concepts presented in lectures and the lab manual.
This assignment focuses on identification, not comprehensive explanation. Students will still need to rely on the lab manual, textbook, lecture materials, and online resources (like the provided Penn State Anatomy website) to fully understand the *why* behind the anatomy.
The full worksheet includes activities for: identifying skull bones and sutures, comparing fetal and adult skull structures (including fontanelles), labeling diagrams of the skull (anterior, lateral, superior, and inferior views), and identifying structures of the rib cage and vertebrae. This preview only describes the assignment’s structure and purpose; it does not contain the diagrams or answer keys.
