Links to try at home:
Timed Skeleton Labeling This link may not work at school since it's at a "game" site, but you can use it to time how fast you can label the bones.
Here is a really good free program you can download and practice labeling with. Because you have to download it, you'd have to do it at home (it's safe....I have it downloaded on my home computer just fine!). It even speaks the bone names as you go!

Bones game
- Match bone types--this link is broken/the website no longer exists. Instead, on your sheet, mark which bone is a flat, short, irregular, and long. Hints: Bone 1 is the femur. Bone 2 is a skull bone (parietal bone). Bone 3 is the sphenoid bone, one inside your skull. Bone 4 is the patella/kneecap.
- Label a long bone--this link also no longer exists. Instead, use this to help you label it. Choose the correct answer for each one--I'll give you two options.
- Is #1 Spongy bone or is it the diaphysis?
- Is #2 Red marrow, or is it the periosteum?
- Is #3 The proximal epiphysis or is it the endosteum?
- Is #4 spongy bone, or is it the marrow cavity?
- Is #5 the yellow marrow, or is it the epiphyseal line?
- Is #6 the endosteum, or the periosteum?
- Is #7 the distal epiphysis, or the epiphyseal line?
- Is #8 the yellow marrow, or the proximal epiphysis?
- Is #9 the diaphysis, or the spongy bone?
- Is #10 the distal epiphysis, or the epiphyseal line?
- McGraw-Hill Labeling Exercises- 1st one, labeling a long bone; 2nd one- label compact/spongy bone. If you have problems with the flash player, come see me, Nate, or another tech-savvy teacher who can help. Saying "it did not work for me" is not an excuse- we can fix it.
- May not work at school- timed labeling of long bone structures
- UW-L's anatomy site
- Extra site worth checking out/using to study
- Endochondral ossification video, and another bone formation one

- SECOND LINK: More skull labeling
- THIRD LINK: UW-L A/P Online
- BONUS LINK FOR EXTRA PRACTICE :Skull Anatomy Tutorial-
- Click on the link and click "anterior view"...click on each bone (in blue) to see its location. Click the arrow at the bottom to view more and repeat.
- Click back to the first page, or click the link above again. Click "lateral view" and click on each bone's name (and the arrow at the bottom).
- Repeat with the inferior, posterior, and orbital views.
- Check out any other views you find interesting.

- Virtual knee replacement - unfortunately, this virtual surgery is no longer free. So, I'm going to have you watch a YouTube video of someone playing the game (lame, I know....but better than nothing!).
