- Metatarsal bonesOssa metatarsiThe metatarsal bones are the five long bones of the forefoot, joining the tarsal bones of the midfoot to the phalanges of the toes.
- Middle cells of ethmoid boneCellulae mediae ossis ethmoideiThe middle group of air cells in each ethmoidal labyrinth, bulging into the middle meatus as the ethmoidal bulla.
- Nasal boneOs nasaleOne of a pair of small oblong bones that meet in the midline to build the bony bridge of the nose.
- Occipital boneOs occipitaleThe single bone at the back and base of the skull, ringing the foramen magnum and resting on the first neck vertebra.

- Parietal boneOs parietaleOne of a pair of curved, four-sided bones that make up most of the roof and side walls of the skull.
- PatellaThe patella, or kneecap, is a flat triangular bone set in the quadriceps tendon at the front of the knee joint.
- Phalanges of the footOssa digitorum pedisThe phalanges of the foot are the short bones of the toes: two in the great toe and three in each of the four lesser toes.
- Phalanges of the handOssa digitorum manusThe phalanges of the hand are the small long bones of the fingers and thumb: two in the thumb and three in each finger.
- Posterior cells of ethmoid boneCellulae posteriores ossis ethmoideiThe back group of air cells in each ethmoidal labyrinth, lying in front of the sphenoidal sinus and draining into the superior meatus.
- RadiusThe radius is the lateral bone of the forearm, on the thumb side, narrow at the elbow and broad at the wrist.
- RibsCostaeThe ribs are the twelve pairs of curved bones that run from the thoracic spine around the chest, forming the rib cage that shields the heart and lungs.
- SacrumOs sacrumThe sacrum is the large wedge of fused vertebrae below the lumbar spine, set between the two hip bones at the back of the pelvis.
- Scaphoid boneOs scaphoideumThe boat-shaped carpal bone at the radial edge of the wrist, the largest of the proximal row and the one most often broken.
- ScapulaThe scapula is the flat, triangular shoulder blade that lies on the upper back and carries the socket of the shoulder joint.
- Sesamoid bones of footOssa sesamoidea pedisTwo small, pea-like bones under the head of the first metatarsal, set in the tendons of flexor hallucis brevis at the ball of the big toe.
- Sinus of frontal boneSinus ossis frontalisThe pair of air-filled spaces inside the frontal bone behind the brow ridges, draining down into the middle meatus of the nose.
- Sinus of sphenoid boneSinus ossis sphenoideiThe pair of air spaces inside the sphenoid's body, deep behind the nose and just below the pituitary gland.
- Sphenoid boneOs sphenoideumThe unpaired, butterfly-shaped bone across the centre of the skull base, linking the braincase to the face and cradling the pituitary gland.
- TalusOs taliThe ankle bone at the top of the foot, gripped between the tibia and fibula and carrying the body's weight down to the heel and forefoot.
- Tarsal bonesOssa tarsiThe tarsal bones are seven short bones forming the back half of the foot, from the ankle joint to the bases of the metatarsals.
- TeethDentesThe teeth are the hard structures set in the upper and lower jaws that cut, tear and grind food, arranged in two curved arches.
- Temporal boneOs temporaleA paired bone at the side and base of the skull that houses the ear and forms the upper half of the jaw joint.
