Exercise 4<br />

Read the description of the human skeleton adding the missing<br />

names of the bones, either common or technical.<br />

The skeleton of an adult human is formed by 206 bones. The<br />

bones are organised into two groups known as the axial skeleton<br />

and the appendicular skeleton.<br />

The axial skeleton includes the skull and the bones of the trunk<br />

(the vertebral column, rib cage and sternum, or 1……...…...). The skull is made up of eight bones which form the cranium and<br />

fourteen bones which make the skeleton of the face. The only<br />

movable bone is the 2….……..…. or lower jaw bone. The spinal<br />

column consists of 33 vertebrae. The rib cage (thoracic cage) is<br />

formed of twelve pairs of ribs with the top seven pairs of ribs<br />

attached directly to the 3………………. and known as true ribs.<br />

The next five pairs are called false ribs because they are not joined<br />

to the sternum directly. The 8th , 9th and 10th ribs are fused with the<br />

rib above, but the 11th and 12th , called floating ribs, are unattached<br />

in front.<br />

The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of extremities<br />

( 4……………..….) and the bones that attach them to the axial<br />

skeleton.<br />

The shoulder girdle is formed by the 5………………. or<br />

collarbones and the scapulae, or 6……..…… . It supports the<br />

upper limb attaching its skeleton to the axial skeleton. The bone of<br />

the upper arm is called the 7………….…. . The 8……………….. is the outer and shorter bone of the forearm. The other bone, inner<br />

and longer, is the 9…………..…… The wrist contains eight bones<br />

called the 10…………….., each hand is formed of five bones<br />
