	d. Articulated C-1 and C-2 :( top rear view of the articulated bones) (one picture) atlas: no centrum, articular surface for odontoid process, no spinous process axis: odontoid process (dens) (Martini's 5th: p 215) Here is a labeled view of articulated C-1 and C-2.
	a: cervical : most delicate of the vertebrae (Martini's 5h: p 215-218) Unique cervical features: transverse foramina, bifurcated spinous process
	b: thoracic : label features common to all vertebrae: centrum, neural arch, vertebral foramen, pedicle, spinous process, lamina, superior articular processes, transverse process, Draw small side view of a thoracic vertebra showing the demifacets and the vertebral notches which form intervertebral foramina for spinal nerves.  Unique thoracic features:demifacets for articulation with rib head, seen from side (except for 11th and 12th.), articular facets on transverse processes (for rib tubercle) and long delicate spinous processes Here is a labeled view of a thoracic vertebra. Here is a labeled side view of thoracic vertebrae showing demifacets and intervertebral foramina.
	c: lumbar : heavy centra, broad heavy spinous process, transverse process lacks facets
	Sacrum(posterior view): dorsal sacral foramina, superior articular facet, auricular surface (on sides, for os coxa), (ala), median sacral crest, sacral canal, sacral hiatus. Here is a labeled view of the sacrum.
rear:side:  top:	Scapula : (posterior view): acromion process, coracoid process, spine of the scapula, supraspinous fossa, infraspinous fossa, glenoid fossa, vertebral border, axillary border Here is a labeled image of the posterior scapula.
23.4. Bones of the arm: (two pages: two views of humerus on first, ulna and radius on facing page)
	a: humerus: (anterior and posterior views): head, greater tubercle, lesser tubercle, intertubercular groove, deltoid tuberosity, lateral epicondyle, medial epicondyle, trochlea, coronoid fossa, capitulum, olecranon fossa
proximal radius articulation    supine (top), prone (lower):	b: ulna : (lateral view) olecranon process, trochlear notch (semilunar notch), coronoid process, head, styloid process, radial notch c: radius : head, neck, radial tuberosity, styloid process, ulnar notch Here is a labled view of the right ulna and radius.
	5. Articulated bones of the wrist and hand, ventral view (trace around your hand as a model): include distal ulna and radius proximal row of carpals: scaphoid lunate triquetrum pisiform distal row of carpals: trapezium trapezoid capitate hamate first through fifth metacarpals, proximal, middle and distal phalanges. Here is a labeled view of the bones of the hand. Here is a labeled view of the right forearm before and after pronation.
male:  female: both, male and female:	6. Os coxa, lateral view with acetabulum and obturator foramen: (Note differences between male and female .) a: ilium: iliac crest, anterior superior iliac spine, anterior inferior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac spine, posterior inferior iliac spine, greater sciatic notch b: pubic bone: pubic tubercle, inferior ramus c: ischium: ischial spine, ischial tuberosity, ischial ramus Here is a labeled lateral view of the right os coxa. Here is a labeled view of male versus female pelvices.. Here is a labeled view of the female pelvis. Here is a labeled view of the male pelvis.
inferior view: superior view:	Articulated bones of the ankle to metatarsals , top view: talus, calcaneus, navicular, medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform, lateral cuneiform, cuboid, first through fifth metatarsals Here is a labeled view of the bones of the right foot.
