Study notes
School lab: the disarticulated skeleton — students assemble skull, ribcage, limbs, naming 206 bones. The skull's 8 cranial + 14 facial bones; the ribcage's 12 pairs guarding heart and lungs. Knee (hinge) vs shoulder (ball-and-socket) — feeling your own joints move teaches types. X-rays in hospitals are skeleton study applied — fractures diagnosed from the same anatomy.
