EXPERIMENT 5: VIRTUAL MODEL - THE APPENDICULAR SKELETON The previous experiment allowed you to explore the appendicular skeleton hands-on. In this exercise, you will use the virtual skeletal model to gain a more detailed understanding of the appendicular skeleton.

PROCEDURE 1. Open the virtual model website linked in the materials section.

2. Select the Skeleton option. Then, select the General Anatomy option.

3. Click through the upper appendicular skeletal system components. Be sure to explore the subcontent within this category as you explore the arms and legs.

Note: Zoom in on the skeleton to reveal all elements. Some skeletal elements are only visible when you zoom in. Remember that you will need to reorient the skeleton to observe all of the skeletal components.

4. Hover the cursor over different skeletal components to view the name. Click on each bone to view a description of it.

Hint: Review the post-lab questions as you work through the appendicular skeletal components.

5. As you move through the model, take a screenshot or use your cell phone to take a picture of the skeletal components listed below. Submit these images to your instructor along with your post-lab questions.

a. Radius

b. Scapula

Hint: Be sure to hover your mouse over the skeletal component to reveal its label in the image.

6. Next, click through the lower appendicular skeletal system components, working through the right and left legs (Figure 16).

7. Hover the cursor over different skeletal components to view the names. Click on each bone to view a description of it.

Figure 6: Work through the upper and lower appendicular skel- etal system to better understand the anatomical placement of each bone.

Note: You must provide the materials listed in *red.

Hint: Review the post-lab questions as you work through the appendicular skeletal components.

8. As you move through the model, take a screenshot or use your cell phone to take a picture of the skeletal components listed below. Submit these images to your instructor along with your post-lab questions.

a. Tarsus

b. Patella

Hint: Be sure to hover your mouse over the skeletal component to reveal its label in the image.

9. Answer the post-lab questions when you have completed your exploration of the appendicular skeleton.
