Cranium - The main function of the cranium is to house and protect the brain. The cranium, together with the mandible, are the two bones that form the skull.

Scapula - The scapula, also called the shoulder bone, connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle. This connection helps to stabilize the arm and provides movement for the arm at the shoulder. The scapula, clavicle, and humerus make up the shoulder.

Clavicle - The clavicle, also known as the collarbone, is located between the ribcage and scapula. It connects the arm to the body.

Sternum - The sternum, also known as the breastbone, is a long bone in the front of the rib cage. Its primary function is to protect the heart, lungs, and blood vessels from damage.

Radius - The radius is one of two large bones of the forearm. The ulna is the other. The radius is part of both the wrist and elbow joints.

Ulna - The ulna is a long bone in the forearm that extends from the elbow to the little finger. Of the two major bones in the forearm, the ulna is the longest.

Phalanges - The phalanges are digital bones of the hands and feet. Each of the digits in the hands have three phalanges, although the thumb and big two have only two.

Femur - Sometimes call the thigh bone, the femur is the longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the body. It extends from the hip to the knee. The entire weight of the body is supported by the femur when a person is standing or walking.

Pelvic Bone - Located in the lower torso, the pelvic bone is a strong ring of bones that protect the organs of the lower abdomen and anchor the muscles in the hip, thigh, and abdomen. The three parts of the pelvis are the sacrum, coccys (tailbone) and hip bones.

Patella - The patella, or kneecap, is a small bone located in the front of the knee joint where the femur and tibia meet. It protects the knee and connects the muscles in the front of the thigh to the tibia.

Tibia - The tibia, combined with the fibula, form the major bones in the lower leg. The tibia is the stronger of the two bones and is sometimes called the shinbone. The tibia connects the knee with the ankle. It is the second largest bone in the human body.

Fibula - The fibula, combined with the tibia, form the major bones in the lower leg. Sometimes called the calf bone, the fibula is the slenderest of all of the "long" bones in the human body. Unlike the tibia, the fibula does carry a significant load of the body.

Tarsals- The tarsals are a set of seven bones located in the back of the foot. It is made up of the cuboid, medial, intermediate and lateral cuneiform, navicular bone, talus, and calcaneus. Of the tarsals, the calcaneus, located in the heel, is the largest and strongest.

Metatarsals- The metatarsals are a set of five bones located in the middle of the foot. The metatarsals don't have individual names; rather they are identified by number.
