Lab Report 2: Axial Skeleton Group Activity – DUE BEFORE YOUR SCHEDULED IN-
PERSON LAB 3
Assignment Description:
Lab report two encompasses work completed in-person during your scheduled lab two. Course material covered during this lab relates to the axial skeleton. During lab you will work in assigned group, one group per table. You will rotate as a group through each of the six stations (1 station per table) completing the required lab activities. You will be given approximately 20 minutes at each station and your lab TA will let you know when you should
rotate to the next station.
This document summarizes the work you will be completing at each station, but you will be submitting this work for credit in moodle. Please note that since this is a group assignment only one person from each group will need to submit this assignment. It is expected that you will have time to complete this work during the lab, but, if necessary, you may complete
it afterwards as long as it is submitted prior to the beginning of your next scheduled lab. However, please keep in mind that you will only receive feedback on this assignment after it
is submitted, and this feedback may be extremely helpful when completing the associated post-lab assignment.
You will be taking photos and submitting them within this document as part of this group activity. You may use your own devices or check out iPads available in lab to facilitate this process.
TABLE 1: DISARTICULATED SKULL
Prompt 1:
Table 1 contains a disarticulated “exploded” skull model and a set of disarticulated, or loose, skull bones. You should reference the disarticulated skull model to help you identify the loose bones and their relative placement with other bones of the skull. Identify each loose bone type as either the mandible, maxilla, sphenoid, or temporal bone by adding the correct label next to that bone(s). Note that some bones are paired, and some are not. You should group paired bones together and identify the left and right bones specifically. You should add a label identifying each bone type as either “cranial” or “facial”.
Take one or more pictures showing these disarticulated (loose) bones with the labels visible. Add this/these image/images below.
Prompt 2:
Label the listed bone features on each bone type. Take an image of the labeled bone to add below. In paired bones you may choose to label either the left or right side, but you do not have to label both.
Mandible:
Angle of mandible
Condylar process
Coronoid process
Mandibular foramen
Mandibular notch
Mental foramen
Ramus
Maxilla:

TABLE 2: FETAL & ADULT SKULL
Prompt 1:
Some bones of the skull are joined by specialized immovable joints called sutures. Many of these sutures can be identified on the figures below and the skull models provided. The lambdoid suture is unique in that may have smaller, sutural bones associated
with it. The pterion can be seen from the lateral view only. This is where several sutures merge together along four articulating bones (sphenoid, temporal, parietal, and frontal). Identify the sutures, sutural bones, and pterion on the adult skull by labeling them with the tape provided (various views may be required). Insert these images below.

Prompt 2:
A newborn’s skull bones are not fully formed and therefore don’t completely encase the brain. The developing flat bones of the skull are interconnected in some areas by larger areas of dense connective tissue called fontanelles (commonly referred to as a baby’s “soft spot”). Label the fetal skull bones and fontanelles on the infant skull model using the word bank provided. Additionally, take a lateral and superior view of the models provided at your station and add the word bank labels to these models and take one or more images showing
these structures.
Word Bank:
Anterior fontanelle
Frontal bone
Mandible
Mastoid fontanelle
Occipital bone
Parietal bone
Posterior fontanelle
Sphenoid bone
Sphenoidal fontanelle
Temporal bone
Prompt 3: The interior floor of the cranial cavity has three distinct curved, depressions which accommodate for the brain regions and are referred to as cranial fossae. Label each of the three cranial fossa regions as anterior, middle, or posterior
on the model and take an image of this to attach below. Provide a summary of bones found in each fossa.
TABLE 3: SKULL BONE FEATURE (INTERIOR)
Prompt 1:
There are multiple bone openings/channels associated with the cranial base. Once learned, these landmarks can be used to help you better identify specific bone features associated with the internal skull. Label the listed foramen on the model and take an image showing this to add below.
Word Bank:
Foramen lacerum
Foramen magnum
Foramen ovale
Foramen rotundum
Foramen spinosum
Hypoglossal canal
Internal acoustic meatus
Jugular foramen
Optic canal
Superior orbital fissure (under lesser wing)
Prompt 2: There are also several prominent bone features visible from this interior view of the cranial base. Identify each feature from the word bank on the figure below. Additionally, take an image of the provided skull model and label the listed structures from the Word Bank below on this image. You may add your images to this document OR you may add a separate image document or slideshow to your submission. Word Bank:
