draw a well labelled diagram of human skeleton
Unfortunately, as a text-based AI, I am unable to draw or create visual images. However, I can certainly help you understand the different bones that comprise the human skeleton and describe their locations.
Here is a well-labelled diagram of the human skeleton:
1. Skull:
- Cranium (skullcap)
- Mandible (lower jawbone)
2. Spine:
- Cervical vertebrae (neck)
- Thoracic vertebrae (chest)
- Lumbar vertebrae (lower back)
- Sacrum (pelvis)
- Coccyx (tailbone)
3. Ribcage:
- Sternum (breastbone)
- Ribs (12 pairs, attach to the spine and sternum)
4. Upper Limbs:
- Clavicle (collarbone)
- Scapula (shoulder blade)
- Humerus (upper arm bone)
- Radius (lower arm bone on the thumb side)
- Ulna (lower arm bone on the pinkie side)
- Carpals (wrist bones)
- Metacarpals (palm bones)
- Phalanges (finger bones)
5. Pelvis:
- Ilium (largest pelvic bone)
- Ischium (lower and back part of the pelvis)
- Pubis (front part of the pelvis)
6. Lower Limbs:
- Femur (thigh bone)
- Patella (knee cap)
- Tibia (shin bone)
- Fibula (smaller bone beside the tibia)
- Tarsals (ankle bones)
- Metatarsals (foot bones)
- Phalanges (toe bones)
Remember, this is just a brief overview, and the human skeleton is more complex with various smaller bones and joints.
