Module 5.1: Introduction to Skeletal System:
In this introduction we will examine some of the unique features of the human skeletal system, specifically evolutionary oddities such as bipedalism.
Module 5.1 Warm-Up : Skin Anatomy
- Directions: Use the notes from watching "Human Origins - Bones" to complete the 5.1 warm-up.
- Write a brief and detailedsummary about the unique features of the human skeletal system. Make sure to include the evolutionary aspects - both the anatomy and physiology sides of the story.
