Introduction to the Skeletal System

0.3 CEUs, PS

In this workshop we will discuss the skeletal system and the signs for the various bones from the head to the toes. We will discuss the bone structure in correlation to their muscle groups. We will consider how to properly produce classifiers for the bones and differentiate between the organs and the surrounding bones in the same part of the body.
