“Form reflects function” is a statement that applies to the skeletal system. What evidence can you provide from your lab work that differences in the skeletons of a frog and human are related to locomotor function? In a bat compared to a human? Provide at least two pieces of evidence for each comparison.
The Ardipithecus ramidus specimen, nicknamed Ardi, was a great find because it contained a large portion of the skeleton. From this skeleton we learned that ...

- Suppose archaeologists discover human skeletal remains in Ethiopia. Examination of the bones suggests that the remains represent four individuals. Two of the skeletons have a broad pubic bone and a pelvis with a wide pubic arch. Within the two groups defined by pelvic differences, smaller skeletons have bones with evidence of epiphyseal plates, but larger bones have only a thin line where the epiphyseal plates should be. Give the age group and sex of the four individuals in the find.arrow_forwardD Question 9 The hyoid articulates with the top vertebrate.
