The bones of the fingers and toes, with each finger having three phalanges (proximal, middle, distal), while the thumb and big toe have two (proximal and distal).

Metatarsals

The long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones and the phalanges, numbering five in total, which help form the arch of the foot.

Tarsals

The group of seven bones located in the ankle, which include the calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, and the three cuneiforms, providing stability and flexibility to the foot.

Tibia

The larger of the two bones in the lower leg, located on the inner side, it supports weight and forms the knee joint with the femur and the ankle joint with the tarsals.

Fibula

The smaller of the two bones in the lower leg, located alongside the tibia, it helps stabilize the ankle and supports the muscles of the lower leg.

Femur

The longest bone in the human body, located in the thigh, it connects the hip joint to the knee joint and bears weight during activities such as walking and running.

Patella

A small bone located in front of the knee joint, commonly known as the kneecap, it protects the knee and improves the leverage of thigh muscles.

humerus

The long bone in the upper arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow, it aids in the movement of the arm and supports various muscles.

Radius

The bone in the forearm located on the thumb side, it helps in the movement of the wrist and forearm.

Ulna

The long bone in the forearm located on the side opposite the thumb, it works alongside the radius to allow for the movement of the wrist and elbow.

Phalanges 1-5 hands

The bones in the fingers, with each hand having 14 phalanges, allowing for dexterity and movement of the digits.

Carpals

The eight small bones that make up the wrist, allowing for a range of motion and flexibility in the hand.

Metacarpals

The long bones in the hand that connect the wrist to the fingers, facilitating movement and support.

Clavicle

A long bone that connects the arm to the body, commonly known as the collarbone. It acts as a strut to support the shoulder and allows for a wide range of shoulder movement.

Scapula

A flat, triangular bone in the upper back that connects the humerus (arm bone) with the clavicle and plays a crucial role in shoulder stability and movement.

Cervical Spine 1-7

The seven vertebrae in the neck region that support the head and allow for its movement, playing a vital role in protecting the spinal cord.

Thoracic spine 1-12

The twelve vertebrae in the upper and mid-back region that provide support for the ribcage, protect the thoracic organs, and allow for the flexibility of the spine.

Lumbar Spine 1-5

The five vertebrae in the lower back that provide support for the upper body and maintain balance, allowing for a range of movements while bearing weight.

Parietal

bone located in the skull that forms the sides and roof of the cranium, playing a key role in protecting the brain.

Occipital

bone located at the back of the skull that forms the base of the cranium, protecting the brain and allowing for movement of the head.

Temporal

bone located on the sides of the skull that encases the temporal lobe of the brain and contains structures related to hearing and balance.

Zygomatic

bone that forms the prominence of the cheek and part of the eye socket, often referred to as the cheekbone.

Frontal

bone located at the front of the skull, forming the forehead and part of the eye sockets, contributing to the structure of the face.

Nasal

bones that form the bridge of the nose and support the structure of the nasal cavity.
