Task 1: Bone Identification
and Function Study
Objective: To develop familiarity with the major bones of the human skeleton as well as their structural and
functional attributes.
Task 2: Case Study Analysis
Objective: To analyze a clinical case involving skeletal injuries.
Instructions:
Instructions:
Use a skeleton model or anatomical software to identify the following bones:
Read the following fictional case study:
Scapula
A 35-year-old male presents with severe pain in the right wrist after a fall. Imaging reveals a scaphoid fracture.
Clavicle
Answer the following questions:
Vertebrae (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar)
What is the significance of the scaphoid bone in the wrist?
Pelvis
Discuss the potential complications of a scaphoid fracture.
Humerus
Propose a treatment plan, including any necessary imaging, surgery, or rehabilitation.
Femur
Reflect on the importance of recognizing complex fractures in the skeletal system.
For each bone identified, write a brief report that includes:
Location in the body
Primary functions (e.g., movement, support, protection)
Common pathologies associated with each bone (e.g., fractures, arthritis).

Task 3:
Comparative
Anatomy
Objective: To compare and contrast the human skeleton with that of another mammal.
Instructions:
Select a mammal (e.g., dog, cat, or primate) and research its skeletal structure.
Create a presentation that includes:
Key similarities and differences in the bone structure and function between the selected mammal and humans.
Discussion on evolutionary adaptations in skeletal structures that allow for different modes of locomotion or habitat use.
Visual aids, such as diagrams or comparative charts, to illustrate your points.
