APPENDICULAR SKELETON TEST REQUIREMENTS

57 correct structures and location


Axial and Appendicular Totals

Total=118 bones or structures


Oral Examination

-50 bones will be randomly selected at 2 pts. each

-The bones will be presented 3 ways:

1. A written list of bones for identification will be given to the student at the time of testing.

2. General descriptions of bones in specific areas.

Ex.
Describe the bones in the cranium

3. Instructor will point to bones and ask you to name them.
