Human Osteology (Axial and Appendicular Skeleton)

Before we start to look at the evolution of primates, we have to get some basic terminology down, so that we can describe primate anatomy with ease. We will need to be familiar with osteology, or the study of bones, as comparing specimens to the human skeleton helps us understand the evolution of hominids. Let's get through the basics now!

My wife is a nurse, and suddenly some of her Anatomy & Physiology course material makes a lot more sense to me.

[@A_COMPLETELY_NORMAL_GUY]

R u rich?

[@Gulogulo314]

This is such a well-organized “walk-through” tutorial of skeletal anatomy. Fairly comprehensive, very clear, and concise covering everything from anatomical language to the articulation of bones and motivating the future videos on evolution! Excellent content as always Prof. Dave can’t wait for the rest of this series 😁

[@Ungragu]

I can't help but check out these videos even though I have absolute no understanding or interest in entering these fields

[@AnarchoReptiloidUa]

A comment to support a professor's video and channel. Thank you for those great videos. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Nxck2440]

I was just learning this, what timing

[@SantuaryTakke]

Big W for Academic Content. Learned a lot from this.

[@jamiegallier2106]

Excellent series, thank you! ❤

[@inksans6728]

When when I needed him most in my BIO 201 anatomy, he covers the thing I’m struggling on :)

[@objective_psychology]

So much of science is just extreme attention to detail

[@nakukoronui140]

Thank you!!!

[@serotoninsound6253]

I study fysiotherapy and all you have said is on point!! More anatomy/physiology please!

[@AlbertaGeek]

_"I study fysiotherapy"_ Has the coursework not covered how to spell 'physiotherapy', yet?

[@A_COMPLETELY_NORMAL_GUY]

How is bpt btw?

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

​@@AlbertaGeekI was wondering the same thing. Or perhaps they're from a country where it _is_ spelt that way. For example, I used the British spelling of "spelled" in the last sentence. It's correct, but most Americans don't recognize it as such.

[@Its1a2date]

I have to watch again.

[@waelfadlallah8939]

That was excellent 👏

[@jasoncody74]

Dang i needed thi vid last week 😅

[@elijahmitchell3272]

Good video

[@glennpearson9348]

My outlook on Halloween is now far more clinical. Nice review of the human skeleton, Prof Dave.

[@petersage5157]

I keep pondering a temporary tattoo of the plate and screws on my humerus as part of a Halloween costume. Some people find it squicky, but it's meaningful to me. I'm able to use that arm because it is literally "screwed up."

[@nileshsharma4590]

Finally learning about ☠️

[@Un0so]

I fucking love this guy

[@sciencenerd7639]

cool!

[@theperfectbotsteve4916]

as a skeleton wearing a meat machine progamed by a meat computer i agree

[@fatimahaidari]

Me present here❤

[@desmond3828]

What about bone biology?

[@karenspivey3203]

I need to watch this. I just broke 2 ribs!

[@desmond3828]

immune system please

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

Ah, yet another human skeleton video that doesn't show the SI joints, which have both pretty much lost their suture strength and constantly hurt me. 🙄🥺 I mean, it's not Dave's fault, since it's one of the least known joints in the body, and isn't _supposed_ to move. It's just that mine do. 😢

[@introvertbiologist7751]

Same same but different

[@Noah-XYZ]

4th comment!!! Luv your content

[@Stacee-jx1yz]

Since the observable universe went from "locally real" to "not locally real" a year ago, could you do a video on: Zero vs nonzero numbers Not-natural vs natural Locally real vs not locally real Seems like a good topic. Also the fact that Leibniz got it right all those years ago when he said: 0D is necessary and "more real" since it has no predecessor. 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D are contingent and "less real" since they all have an immediate predecessor. Kinda makes you think we're using the wrong calculus and geometry since we're using Newton's (now) contradictory version which says zero is not locally real and nonzero is locally real 🤔. Thanks!

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

It's just another hypothesis, neither of which have been able to rule out the other. Let's not go chucking out still more science before we have been able to rule out one or more hypotheses, shall we?

[@shahsakib440]

In this video I shouldn't tell this but I am forced....tell me can factor be a negative
