Parietal bone - sounds like "parents," parents are the top of your family, so this bone is the top of your head

Temporal bone - sounds like "tempo" aka the speed of a song, the temporal bone is the side of your head where your ears are for listening to music

Frontal bone - easy, it's the front of your head or forehead

Zygomatic - silliest ever, but these are your cheek bones, which always raise when you say HI!  So I remind myself that the cheek bone is the HIgyomatic bone

Mandible - kind of sounds like "edible" which reminds you of the jaw]]> 2021-05-07 15:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/1502806502 Hayden De Falco https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2022119893 Compared to the atlas bone, the skull is a very large "ball", like the story of Atlas, who was the titan responsible for holding up the heavens. This later turned into the "world". Our atlas bone holds our massive heads up and allows for cranial movement, just like that guy from that Greek Story! ]]> 2022-01-31 19:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2022119893 Erin Ferguson https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2026235394 I remember "clavicle" because it starts with c and so does "collarbone". Same with "scapula" and "shoulder blade" :)]]> 2022-02-02 20:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2026235394 Josepha Edith Aba https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2027743261 For my Memory tricks: I will be talking about the Upper and Lower Extremities.

The Humerus - is the easiest to remember because we all have a good "sense of humour"..(haha). This bone is located between your elbow and your shoulder. Also the largest bone of the upper extremity.

Tibia - sounds like trivia with a capital T, because it is the "larger bone" it is also the main weight-bearing of the two long bones in the lower leg.

Fibula - sounds like you're "fib-bing me!" it is smaller than the tibia and runs beside it so I think of it as a "little fib".  The fibula helps stabilize the tibia but doesn't carry much weight.  ]]> 2022-02-03 15:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2027743261 Josepha Edith Aba https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2028243853 In addition to my recent post.

also if looking at my right arm in anatomical position the Radius is on the Right side.

7 cervical vertebrae = breakfast at 7am
12 thoracic vertebrae = lunch at 12noon
5 lumbar = supper at 5pm

Patella - I remember it's the knee because that's the bone the doctor "pats" when measuring reflexes, i.e. Patella]]> 2022-11-30 01:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2402790600 From our Zoom https://padlet.com/karen_founk/zukv0l6rw2zhxhyu/wish/2462265023 Callus on your calcaneus
