Anatomy Lecture Review Guide
As a reference guide and as general knowledge, know the following information
about the skeleton.
The major bones of the skeleton
Bony landmarks (be able to locate them and know what they are for; i.e. are they projections for
attachments, or are they places for bones to articulate.)
Shapes of bones (be able to list examples)
Divisions of the skeleton (axial/appendicular) and what bones belong to each division
Classification of joints (defined by what initially holds them together and how much they move)
Ligament names and locations
Types of Diarthrodial joints (names, examples and how they move)
Know your movements
Abduction and adduction
Plantar flexion and dorsiflexion
Flexion and extension
Inversion and eversion
Rotation
Pronation and supination
