    Lab 5 Exercise \(\PageIndex{3}\)

    1. Using one of the full skeletons in the room, fill out the tables below with three or four steps to determine whether each individual upper limb bone comes from the anatomical left or anatomical right.

    2. You can describe any features on that bone and which direction it has to face to allow you to determine whether that particular bone came from anatomical left or anatomical right.

    3. You don't have to use anatomical jargon if you don't want. Use terms which will make sense to you when you read it again. Use as many steps as you need, not necessarily four.

    Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)

    1. Using one of the full skeletons in the room, fill out the tables below with three or four steps to determine whether each individual lower limb bone comes from the anatomical left or anatomical right.

    2. You can describe any features on that bone and which direction it has to face to allow you to determine whether that particular bone came from anatomical left or anatomical right.

    3. You don't have to use anatomical jargon if you don't want. Use terms which will make sense to you when you read it again. Use as many steps as you need, not necessarily four.
