Set of bones that form the top of the head and enclose and protect the brain, cerebellum and medulla oblongata.

An elongated flat bone, shaped like an italic "S", located in the anterosuperior part of the thorax of vertebrates.

Longest bone of the upper extremity, the upper arm.

They are long, elastic, flat bones, which together with the spine and sternum form the bony cage called the thorax. They protect the internal organs of the thorax, such as the heart.

Is part of the rib cage, a series of bones that protects the heart and lungs from injury.

Is a complex articulated and resistant cartilaginous or bony structure, in the form of a longitudinal stem, which constitutes the posterior part of the axial skeleton of vertebrate animals and protects the spinal cord.

Is a long bone, parallel to the radius, located between the humeral trochlea and the carpus. It is located on the inner side of the forearm.

Region of the mammalian body formed by the sacrum, coccyx and innominate bones, located in the posterior part of the trunk, where the final part of the digestive tract, the urinary bladder and other organs are housed.

Is the thigh bone, the second segment of the lower limb. It is the longest, strongest and most voluminous bone in the human body.

The tibia is medial to the fibula with which it articulates at its proximal and distal ends. Also, between both bones there is a fibrous membrane called "interosseous membrane" that provides stability to both joints by forming a syndesmosis.

Term	Definition
CRANIUM	Set of bones that form the top of the head and enclose and protect the brain, cerebellum and medulla oblongata.
CLAVICLE	An elongated flat bone, shaped like an italic "S", located in the anterosuperior part of the thorax of vertebrates.
HUMERUS	Longest bone of the upper extremity, the upper arm.
RIBS	They are long, elastic, flat bones, which together with the spine and sternum form the bony cage called the thorax. They protect the internal organs of the thorax, such as the heart.
STERNUM	Is part of the rib cage, a series of bones that protects the heart and lungs from injury.
VERTEBRAL COLUMN	Is a complex articulated and resistant cartilaginous or bony structure, in the form of a longitudinal stem, which constitutes the posterior part of the axial skeleton of vertebrate animals and protects the spinal cord.
ULNA	Is a long bone, parallel to the radius, located between the humeral trochlea and the carpus. It is located on the inner side of the forearm.
PELVIS	Region of the mammalian body formed by the sacrum, coccyx and innominate bones, located in the posterior part of the trunk, where the final part of the digestive tract, the urinary bladder and other organs are housed.
FEMUR	Is the thigh bone, the second segment of the lower limb. It is the longest, strongest and most voluminous bone in the human body.
TIBIA	The tibia is medial to the fibula with which it articulates at its proximal and distal ends. Also, between both bones there is a fibrous membrane called "interosseous membrane" that provides stability to both joints by forming a syndesmosis.
