    HEAD. A Frontal bone. B Parietal bone. C Temple or temporal bone. a Part of the sphenoidal bone. b Mastoid process of the temporal bone, c Zygomatic process. d d Cheek bones.—d c Between these two references is seen the zygomatic suture, joining the temporal and cheek bones, by their processes of that name. efg k Lower jaw—ty) coronoid process—(f) condyloid process—(h f) ramus of the jaw—(h g) base of the jaw—(g) Symphysis of the lower jaw. i i Upper jaw bones.—Between these, extending from the fore teeth to the entrance of the nostrils, is seen a suture called mystacliial: just above this letter of reference the inferior orbitary hole may be seen. k A portion of the coronal suture joining the frontal and parietal bones. I A portion of the sphenoidal suture. m The squamous suture. n n The two nasal bones joined to each other by the an- terior nasal suture. 0 The left nostril, in which is seen the vomer, and a small part of the inferior turbinate, or spongy bone projecting within the edge of the upper jaw bone. p The right nostril, with the inferior turbinate bone seen more plainly. r r Orbitary processes of the frontal bone. r t r v A suture passing across the upper part of the face, and sinking to the bottom of the orbits, join- ing the frontal bone to the bones of the face chiefly. s Lachrymal bone, or os unguis. u Orbitary process of the upper jaw bone. 1 1 Orbitary processes cf the malar or cheek bone. 2 2 Orbitary processes of the sphenoid bone. £ Os planum. RIBS AND STERNUM. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The seven true ribs; their cartilages (o) are seen to join the sternum. 3 9 10 1 M2 The five lower, or false ribs, whose car- tilages do not join the sternum. D E The sternum, or breastbone, articulated above to' the collar bones ; at its sides to the ribs ; and at its lower extremity to the sword-like appendix oz cartilage, F. SPINE. 4 5 6 7 The bodies of the four lower vertebrae of the neck. 5 9 The bodies of the two1 first vertebrae of the back ; to which the two first ribs ar~ attached. 19 The body of the last vertebra of the back ; to which the last rib is attached. 20 21 22 23 24 The bodies of the five lumbar vertebrae, being the broadest and thickest in the spine. x x x This letter is placed on the intervertebral sub- stance j a substance appearing to be a mixture of ligament and cartilage : it is found between the bo- dies of all the vertebrae; but thickest between the lumbar vertebrae. y y Transverse processes of the vertebrae of the neck, and the first of the back, z z Transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae. ppm m The sacrum—/• p The part next the hip bone— m m m rn Four of the bodies of the vertebrae, into which it was separated in the foetal state : between the letters m is seen a line passing in the direction of the intervertebral substance, which formerly , united them, but which, in the adult state, is be- come bone. At each extremity of these lines is seen a hole: these are the anterior sacral holes, through which large nerves pass from the cauda equina. n The lower extremity of the coccyx. SUPERIOR EXTREMITY.

I 2 3 4 The first row of carpal bones, or bones of the wrist— (I) The navicular bone—(2) The lunar, bone—(3) The cuneiform bone—(4) The pisi- form, or pea-like bone. 5678 the second row of carpal bones—(5) The tra- pezial bone—(6) The trapezoid bone—(7) The great bone—(8) The unciform bone—(9) The nail like process of the unciform bone. 10 Metacarpal, or first bone of the thumb. II Second bone of the thumb. 12 Third bone of the thumb. ] 7 Sesamoid bones of the thumb. 13 13 13 13 Metacarpal bones of the fingers. 14 14 14 14 First phalanx, or row of finger bones. 15 15 15 15 Second phalanx of finger bones. 10 10 10 16 Third phalanx of finger bones. PELVIS AND LOWER EXTREMITY. 1 2 3 4 5 Ilium, or hip bone—(l) Spine of the ilium j, at this end of the spine is a projecting point called superior anterior spinous process—(5) Inferior an- terior- spinous process—(2 3) Line of union with sacrum : under 3 is seen the opening of the sacro ischiatic notch. 4 6 7 Pubis or share bone—(6 4) Ascending ramus— (6 7) Descending ramus—(6 6) Bodies of the pubes — (11) Symphysis, or junction of the pubes. 7 89 Ischium, or hitch bone—(8) Tuberosity of the ischium—(7) Union of the ascending branch of the ischium with the descending branch of the pubis. 10 Thyroid hole; through this hole, formed by the ilium, ischium, ancl pubis, is seen projecting the point of the spinous process of the ischium, 12 14 15 16 17 Thigh bone, or femur—(12) Head of the bone covered with cartilage, for articulation at the hip joint—(13) Cervix, or neck of the bone— (14) Great trochanter—(15) Lesser trochanter— 06) Internal condyle—(17) External condyle— (18) Patella, or knee-pan: under the patella is seen part of the bone, covered with cartilage, en- tering into the knee joint. 19 Interarticular cartilages. 20 22 Tibia, or great bone of the leg—(20) Head of the bone—(22) Lower extremity of the bone, forming the inner ancle.. 21 23 Fibula, or small bone of the leg—(21) Upper- extremity articulated with the tibia—(22) Lower extremity forming the outer ancle. 24 Astragalus ; the bone by which the foot is articulated with the leg. 25 The calcaneum, or heel-bone. 26 The navicular bone, 27 The great cuneiform bone. 35 The lesser and middle cuneiform bones. 28 The metatarsal, or first bone of the great toe. 29 The second bone of the great toe. 30 The third bone of the great toe. 34 Metatarsal bones of the other four toes. 31 Bones of the first phalanx, or row of the four lesser toes. 32 Second row of bones of the toes. 33 Third row of bones of the toes. 36 Sesamoid bones of the great toe.
