BIOLOGY 2401 “DEM BONES”: Forensic Resurrection of a Skeleton Objectives Work as a team of forensic anthropologists to… • Determine the sex of a skeleton from pelvic morphological distinctions. • Determine the sex of a skeleton from skull morphological distinctions. • Estimate the age of bones of individuals based on morphological changes • Analyze bones to determine height estimations. • Develop a regression calculation for estimating height. • Evaluate bones for pathological and physiological changes

recognized as a significant public health problem. Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is caused by inflammation‚ breakdown‚ and eventual loss of the cartilage of the joints. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a "cushion" between the bones of the joints. Osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative arthritis.

strong‚ flexible framework of 206 bones that supports the body and protects internal organs. In addition‚ the bones of the skeleton store calcium‚ a mineral essential for the activity of nerve and muscle cells. The soft core of bone‚ the bone marrow‚ is where red blood cells‚ certain white blood cells‚ and blood platelets form.
