APSM 2441 / Bone Lab

Practical 2 · checked October 13, 2026

Know the structure. Name it precisely.

Use the 3D viewer for bones and verified landmark highlights. This review adds joint anatomy, movements and bone structure taught in lab. The bone guide controls bone/landmark scope; it is not the entire practical.

Vertebrae: identify the region. Typical cervical, thoracic and lumbar are the required regional labels. Know atlas/C1 and axis/C2 separately. Numbering on a complete spine is course context; no inspected identification list requires recognizing an isolated L4. Review the vertebrae →

Recall practice

Typed checks accept listed anatomical synonyms, not partial ligament acronyms or incomplete digit/movement answers. Explanation prompts are self-checks. Practice scores last for this session and are not mastery evidence.

Coverage & model limits

The matrix separates the explicit bone guide, additional posted lab material and supplemental entries. A model gap does not remove a topic from the practical.

Mapped 2D practice is now available: 66 targets across 11 original textbook figures cover many remaining visual gaps. The five approximate 3D highlights remain ungraded. Original 3D limits: the five approximate guide landmarks (superior orbital fissure, middle nasal concha, perpendicular plate, cribriform plate/olfactory foramina, jugular notch); the six common vertebral landmarks on cervical and thoracic specimens; and knee ligaments/menisci/tendons. See the diagram page for the exact labels still requiring course specimens or demonstrations.

Precision: carpal practice begins palm-up in the anatomical anterior view. Phalanges require segment and digit; metacarpals/metatarsals require numbers 1–5. Landmark stations ask for both the bone and marking. Use “coxal bone,” and spell ligament names in full.

Limits: highlights are source-anchored surface neighborhoods, not segmented anatomical boundaries. Individual olfactory foramina are unresolved. The cribriform plate is the bony plate; the olfactory foramina are holes through it. External long/compact-bone models are reference-only; mapped 2D bone-tissue labels are available in Diagram practice. No instructor exam format is inferred from Practical 1.
