Bones, Bones, Bones!

For the section of skeletal system we had to split into groups of about 4-5 people.  After that, we had to decide the section of the body we would like to memorize.  My group consisted of Carla, Gena, Bri, Cassidy, and myself.  Carla chose the midsection of the body such as the ribs and pelvis.  Gena had the inside of the skull.  Bri had the arms and fingers.  I chose the bones on the outside of the skull, thinking it would be easy.  After getting our assigned parts, I began looking at diagrams portraying certain parts of the skull and specific bones.  After looking at multiple diagrams, I realized the skull has a ton of different bones!  After about a day or two I started to get the hang of it and remember what certain bones were where.  The bones I had to memorize are displayed in this picture!


Out of all these bones, I only missed about four.
Overall, I learned that there are multiple different bones not only in the body, but in the skull alone.  I also learned not to wait last minute for memorizing certain bones! :)
