  4. Carpal Bones The 8 short bones that make up your wrists

  5. Cartilage • Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue. • Cartilage is found in the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, in the throat and between intervertebral disks

  6. Clavicle The clavicle is the collar bone

  7. Coccyx The coccyx is the bottom tip of the sacrum

  8. Cranium • The brain and surrounding skull

  9. Diaphragm • a shelf of muscle extending across the bottom of the ribcage.

  10. Femur This is the longest bone in your body. It is located on your upper leg.

  11. Fibula This is the smaller bone on your lower leg. It lays on the outside.

  12. Floating Ribs The last two sets of ribs on your ribcage. They are not connected to the sternum.

  13. Hard Palate This bone makes up the roof of your mouth

  14. Hinge Joint • The hinge joint allows bones to move back and forth, and is found in your elbow and knee. It allows bones to move like a hinge in a door

  15. Humerus This is the bone that makes up your upper arm.

  16. Joints • The place where two or more bones come together is called a joint

  17. Ligaments • The bones at a joint are held together by strong bands of tissue called ligaments which allow the bones to move

  18. Mandible The lower part of your jaw

  19. Metatarsals The long bones in your foot.

  20. Ossification • Ossification is the process of bone formation, in which connective tissues, such as cartilage are turned to bone or bone-like tissue

  21. Patella Your Kneecap OUCH!!! That’s a nail

  29. Stirrup Bone This is the smallest bone in the human body
