2. What are some professions that require osteological knowledge? Q: Why are bones and teeth important to law enforcement? A: Bones and teeth reveal basic demographic characteristics (sex, age, ancestry). They can help a lot to determine a positive ID of a deceased person. Bones also can reveal a lot about a person’s occupation, where they lived, diet, healed injuries, and past illnesses. Left: Student excavating a body at the University of Tennessee’s Anthropology Center’s “Body Farm”. Right : Oldest known murder victim is a 430,000 year of skeleton of a Neandertal
2. What are some professions that require osteological knowledge? Forensic Anthropology: The application of standard scientific anthropological techniques to assist in the detection of a crime or ID victims of a disaster. Q: What do Forensic Anthropologists do? A: Figure out the identity and manner of death of a person to solve a crime and/or for next of kin. 1. Age at death 2. Sex 3. Ancestry 4. Pathologies 5. Cause of Death 6. Manner of Death
2. What are some professions that require osteological knowledge? Forensic Anthropology cont. Education: Undergrad: Double major in anthropology and organic chemistry; anthropology and fine art; Graduate training: Anthropology M.A. plus internship, Anthropology PhD. University of Tennessee Anthropology Center (“Body Farm”) Career paths: Internships with law enforcement or humanitarian organization investigating sites of mass graves, war crimes, or natural disasters, Work as a professor FT and PT volunteer and/or paid consultant for various law enforcement agencies, medical examiner, etc.

2. What are some professions that require osteological knowledge? Bioarchaeology: The scientific study of human biological remains (such as bones) from archaeological sites . Q: What do bioarchaeologists do? A: Figure out a past persons’ identity, what their life was like, and their cause of death. à Human remains older than 50 years unless a crime is suspected (then about 100 years).

3. What are bones made of? How many bones are in a human skeleton? What are the parts of the skeleton? Fossil: Old bones in which their organic elements have decayed and have been replaced by sediment. Fossils also can be made out other organic matter like shells and impressions of things like leaves and feathers. It takes about 10,000 years and an environment that is relatively arid or anoxic (oxygen-free) and sedimentary to transform a bone into a fossil. Fossilized skull of “Mrs. Ples.” It is from a 2.5 million-year- old Australopithecus africanus. Her skull was discovered in the Sterkfontain Caves near Johannesburg, South Africa in 1947.
3. What are bones made of? How many bones are in a human skeleton? What are the parts of the skeleton? Cartilage : A strong, flexible connective tissue that is found in various parts of the body, including the joints, the outer ear, and the larynx. You can tell a young person’s age at death by noting the rate of cartilage ossification An infant is born with about 300+ bones connected by cartilage. After birth, these sections of bones fuse together at a predictable rate into single bones as the child ages into an adult.
3. What are bones made of? How many bones are in a human skeleton? Bone grows during adulthood and when repairing injuries Bone growth responds to: workload diet (nutrients and calories): o Osteoblasts: Bone cells that produce bone material and also aid in healing fractures. o Osteoclasts: Bone cells that reabsorb bone material and aid in healing fractures.

3. What are bones made of? How many bones are in a human skeleton? Bone growth during adulthood à Growth responds to workload and diet (nutrients and calories): 1. Bone mass decreases: Reduced workload, malnutrition, insufficient calories, remodeling of fractured bone material, or insufficient UV light. o Osteoclastic: reduction/remodeling of bone material 2. Bone mass increases : Increased workload, repairing a bone injury, good nutrition and sufficient calories. o Osteoblastic: Production of bone material
3. What are bones made of? How many bones are in a human skeleton? Bone growth during adulthood (cont.) Wolf’s Law: The principle that bone is placed in the direction of functional demand, that is, bone develops where needed and recedes where it is not needed. More workload, more bone mass, stronger bones. When it comes to bone mass: “Move it or lose it!”

Anatomical Position Anatomical Position: Standing, or lying on the back, with arms straight along the side, face forward, and palms facing foreword with thumbs pointing away from the body .
