Question

To analyze the long bones, the femur and the humerus, you looked at bone markings such as condyles, tuberosities and trochanters. look back at the photographs and at the bone markings on your maniken®. how would you describe these markings in your own words? which features do you think separate each class of markings from the others?

Answer 1

When looking over the long bones of the body, I decided to focus on the two largest, , the humerus and the femur. The humerus has a round projection which looks slightly irregular. The femur has more of a rough look to it. The femur is The largest bone of the body connecting to the acetabulum ( hip bone socket) and helps support the weight of the body. It can withstand more pressure than the humerus bone. I think the structural difference in these two bones is what makes the difference in the markings and features.
