- Anterior cells of ethmoid boneCellulae anteriores ossis ethmoideiThe front group of air cells in each ethmoidal labyrinth, lying between the nose and the orbit and draining into the middle meatus.
- Atlas (C1)The atlas is the first cervical vertebra, a bony ring without a body that carries the skull and lets the head nod and turn.
- Auditory ossiclesOssicula auditusThe auditory ossicles are the three tiny linked bones of the middle ear that carry sound from the eardrum to the inner ear.
- Axis (C2)The axis is the second cervical vertebra, recognised by the tooth-like dens that rises from its body and acts as a pivot for the atlas.
- Body of sternumCorpus sterniThe long middle section of the breastbone, between the manubrium and the xiphoid process, carrying the cartilages of the second to seventh ribs.
- CalcaneusThe heel bone, biggest of all the foot bones, which takes the weight of the body at heel strike and anchors the Achilles tendon.
- Carpal bonesOssa carpiThe carpal bones are eight small, irregular bones packed in two rows at the wrist, linking the forearm bones to the bases of the metacarpals.
- Cervical vertebraeVertebrae cervicalesThe cervical vertebrae are the seven small bones of the neck spine, between the skull and the thorax, each with a foramen in its transverse process.
- ClavicleClaviculaThe clavicle is the long, S-shaped collarbone lying across the root of the neck, linking the sternum to the shoulder blade.
- CoccyxOs coccygisThe small tailbone at the lower end of the vertebral column, made of a few reduced vertebrae below the sacrum.
- Ethmoid boneOs ethmoideumA light, air-filled, unpaired bone between the orbits that forms the roof and upper walls of the nasal cavity beneath the brain.
- FemurOs femorisThe femur is the long bone of the thigh, running from the hip joint above to the knee joint below.
- FibulaThe fibula is the slender outer bone of the leg, beside the tibia, reaching from below the knee to the outer ankle.
- First ribCosta primaThe first rib is the shortest, broadest and most curved rib, forming the rim of the upper opening of the thorax.
- Frontal boneOs frontaleThe single bone of the forehead, which also roofs both eye sockets and forms the front of the cranial vault.
- Hip boneOs coxaeThe large flat bone forming each side of the pelvis, made of the fused ilium, ischium and pubis, holding the socket of the hip joint.
- HumerusThe long bone of the upper arm, running from the shoulder joint above to the elbow joint below.
- Hyoid boneOs hyoideumA U-shaped bone across the front of the neck, below the chin and above the larynx, held in place by muscles and ligaments alone.
- Inferior nasal concha boneConcha nasalis inferiorA curled scroll of thin bone on the lower side wall of each nasal cavity, the largest of the three conchae and a facial bone in its own right.
- Lacrimal boneOs lacrimaleThe smallest and most fragile bone of the face, set in the front of the inner orbital wall where it cradles the tear sac.
- Lumbar vertebraeVertebrae lumbalesThe lumbar vertebrae are the five large, weight-bearing vertebrae of the lower back, lying below the thoracic spine and above the sacrum.
- MandibleMandibulaThe mandible is the movable lower jaw bone of the skull, carrying the lower teeth and hinging on the temporal bones at each side.
- Manubrium of sternumManubrium sterniThe wide top section of the breastbone, where the clavicles and the first pair of ribs meet the front of the chest.
- MaxillaOne of the paired bones of the upper jaw, holding the upper teeth and forming the centre of the face, the orbit floor and much of the palate.
