Your third lab quiz will be on the axial skeleton. Expect 10 skull questions and 10 questions for the rest. For the different types of vertebrae, you will be expected to know the specific type (atlas, axis, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum) and the landmarks. Note, there are numbers missing so don't worry if you can't find a number. This is an artifact of how I coded for all the files.

Below is a typical cervical vertebrae. Try to identify the landmarks. Also try to think of something that will help you remember it is a cervical vertebrae. When done, be sure to do the atlas/axis, the thoracic, and the lumbar pages. Also look at the sacrum.
