Study Them Bones!!!

206!! That's the number of bones in your body. We are going to learn the names of most of them as well as some of the bone landmarks. We will be having a quiz each day as we work on memorizing this information. Once we become "experts" we will dive into a forensic lab. From a set of bones we will identify whether the "victim" was male or female as well as the race, age, and height. Finally we will study the physiology of bones and take a look at the microscopic stucture of bone cells. Get ready for some bone chilling fun in this chapter!!!
