The Skeletal System

Young biologists piece together the puzzle of the human body with this simple anatomy worksheet. Presented with a picture of the human skeleton, students are challenged with the task of correctly identifying the 27...

What is the differences between exo and endoskeletons? Viewers have an opportunity to see the structure inside our bones and explore bone remodeling with a video about cartilage and bone formation in the human body. 

Sculpture animation is used to build the skeletal system. Beginning with a single vertebra, more and more of the skeleton is added on while the animation spins and music plays. Show your anatomy class this animation and have them name...

Skeletons may not be able to speak, but they can still tell us a lot. High schoolers watch a short video about the ways biological anthropologists can use a skeleton's bone structure to determine age, gender, place of birth, and social...

This thorough site delves into the structure of the bone, the main bones in the human skeleton (definition and pictures), and a comparison of the male and female pelvis.

Discover the importance of your skeleton. Its different purposes are described and the various types of bones are shown. The animation in this clip clearly introduces the human skeletal system and its parts. A great resource for your...

Funded by the National Science Foundation, the eSkeletons Project provides interactive views of bones. Various menus allow you to review the bones of the human skeleton and compare them to the bone structures of nine primates.

Adults' bodies are made of 206 bones, whereas babies have about 300 different bones or areas of cartilage. Pupils explore the difference between exo- and endo- skeletons in a video about the skeletal system. They then see how bones are...

An interactive site that provides a picture of a skeleton segment. On the picture is a number with a line pointing to a part of the skeleton. When you click on the number the part is identified.

This digital laboratory provides an interactive environment in which to examine and learn about skeletal anatomy, in particular the skeleton of the slow loris.
