Describe the terms that have common usage in the description of the detailed osteology of the human body. Identify, classify structurally and describe the major joints of the pectoral and pelvic girdles, upper and lower limbs. Osteology - the study of the structure and function of the skeleton and bony structures. Arthrology - the study of anatomy, function, dysfunction and treatment of joints and articulations.
