The Skeletal System

Compiled by Dr. Jane Horlings

The following is a list of web sites that you may find useful in studying for Laboratory Practical I. Please help future students by emailing me (bioprof@) any other sites you encounter. Additionally, it would be useful to us if you could email information on which of the sites on this page that you find to be of greatest utility to you! Thanks!

FYI, these are in rather random order, but the ones I like the most tend to be at the beginning of each section’s list. You won’t have time to utilize all of these web sites. I would suggest that you find a few for each unit, in each section (e.g. a few that show and test you on the bones, a few that show the models, a few on histology) and utilize those while you’re studying and learning.

Why do I put where they’re from? So you can talk about them and remember them—e.g. you can remember the “Penn State” site versus the “Loyola” site... and to give credit to the institution which developed the site. Note that this is divided into sections; the first sites are of general interest, then there are sections just for histology, models, etc.

Bones

Skeletal System. From Pennsylvania State University. Not really interactive, but good photos, numbered structures, then you can reveal the “answers” to quiz yourself. Links to pictures, information, and quizzes on the human skeletal system.



Bones of the Body. A clickable list of all of the bones of the human body, then a picture labels the parts, and displays answers when the number of the item is clicked upon. Very useful for all of these skeletal units, although the detail for some bones is limited, particularly the skull. From Loyola University of Chicago Medical School.



The Skull Practical Exam. This is designed to teach you the bones and landmarks of the skull. You can toggle back and forth between question and answer mode. From Loyola University Medical Education Network (LUMEN). This is very good practice for our practical!



Skeletal System Quizzing. This is great! Pick from any bone/area etc, see the picture with the labeled bones, write down the answers on your own, the click to see the answers. Great level of detail, right on target with what we cover and expect you to learn! This is just wonderful- do it!



Skull Module. A thorough treatment of the bones of the skull, combining labeled bones and descriptive text. From the California State University at Chico.



Axial Skeleton. From Niagra Community College. Labeled photographs of bones, nicely done.

~and~

Appendicular Skeleton May be missing just a few of the detailed structures we cover.



Skeleton: The Bones. From the University of British Columbia. Click on the link (Al’s Tutorials) in the upper left corner for tutorials/quizzes.



The Axial Skeleton. From Bluegrass State. Labeled great photographs, write down the answers, then click to see the key. Very good way to quiz yourself and test your knowledge.

~ and~

The Appendicular Skeleton and Joints. More from Bluegrass State. Click on the bones, then see labeled good photograph, write down the answers, click on the key to check.



Knee Joint– Anatomy & Function. Don’t forget to study the knee! Good diagrams at:

WebAnatomy: Bones. Self-tests and links to more quizzes etc. from the University of Minnesota.



Gray’s Anatomy, 1918. All 1000+ engravings online, as well as descriptions. Priceless! You could print these and make your own flash cards, for free!



Histology: Microscopic Anatomy of the Skeleton

Jay Doc Histo Web. The University of Kansas (the Blue Jays) Histology site. You can click on cartilage and bone to view photomicrographs and electron micrographs of histological sections. Expanded views show much detail. This is a website that you will probably use all semester.



Cartilage and Bone. A large number of excellent photomicrographs with descriptive text from Loyola University Medical Education Network (LUMEN). These are the slides on cartilage and bone.





Cartilage, Bone, and Blood Tissues. Good photographs, labeled, with functions and descriptions of the histology we are studying in this unit. Blood is in our Unit 3 lab.



Radiographic Images

Radiographic Anatomy of the Skeleton. From the University of Washington. Excellent, detailed, labeled X-rays. You can ask for it to be labeled or unlabeled.



Models

Model Index. Go to “Skin/Skeletal” or just scroll down. Shows the model of the knee and the osteon that we have in lab, click to enlarge. From Palomar College.



Model Index, put together by Margaret Steinberg at El Camino College, shows many of the same models we have.



Model List. From MiraCosta College; pictures of models, skulls, and individual skull bones with mouse-over labels.



Photo Gallery of Anatomy Models. This rather bland-looking list of models links you to great photos of the models, including skulls, with numbers. Roll your mouse over the model for the name; this is great! You can quiz yourself, then see the answer, one by one...You can also click for other options (upper right corner).



General Histology Resources.

These will be useful in studying tissues of the skeletal system. These topics may or may not be covered on Practical I, depending on time available and the discretion of your instructor. These resources certainly will be useful to you as the semester progresses, as we will be doing histology with each lab unit, and covering a lot in Lab Unit 4.

Jay Doc Histo Web. The University of Kansas (the Blue Jays) Histology site. You can click on thumbnails to view photomicrographs of histological sections. Expanded views show much detail.



LUMEN Virtual Histology. From the Loyola University Medical Education Network. Good quizzing feature.



University of Delaware Histology. First go to:



Then go to Color Images of Histological Sections. Huge, high definition photomicrographs!



Southern Illinois University, U. of Medicine Histology. Good images, labels, description of tissue.



Microanatomy Web Atlas. University of Texas Medical Branch, Cell Biology Graduate Program. Good images, descriptions, study questions.



Histology. From the Veterinary School of the University of Pennsylvania. Great photographs! Investigate them by tissue type or organ system.



Ed's Basic Histology Gallery: University of Health Sciences, Kansas City. Scroll down for the lengthy list of images.



Atlas of Histology. College of Medicine, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Good practical quizzes. The mouse-overs will “talk” to you!



General Resources

GetBodySmart: Interactive Tutorials and Quizzes on Human Anatomy and Physiology. Wide variety of areas covered, animations, etc.

BioDigitalHuman. This has 3-D computer generated images of the human body. Free for individuals, requires sign in. For $3.33/mo you get a premium account, which includes iPad/iPhone app.

Please let me know if you find new sites, feel free to give me feedback about the utility of these sites.
