Lab 6 Skeletal System Printables

Providing labelled diagrams out can be helpful for students during this lab. I currently use a mix of resources. I print and laminate some open source colour diagrams (can be found in the link below).

Additionally, I have several copies of “Martini’s Atlas of the Human Body.” The book has great visuals with a nice level of detail in labelling the provincial level anatomy. You can buy used copies online for about $10 to $15 and new copies for about $80.

I usually have 5 of these set out, open to specific pages, including:

• Different types of vertebrae
• Regions of the spine
• The arm
• The leg
• A labelled diagram of an entire skeleton

If you can afford the 5 copies, you do not need to print out all the diagrams provided below.

You can visit the following Google Doc link to print each diagram onto an 8.5 in by 11 in sheet of paper. The images are under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.

• Images for Lab 6 for the Provincial Biology Lab Manual (Miller, 2024)

You can also access the individual sources for these images below.
