Number 3 is missing the list of bones in each of the two divisions, number 7 is incorrect and number 10 needs to be adjusted. For the sketch of the skeleton, I said that you could use a picture of the skeleton from the internet, but that you needed to label it yourself with the bones asked for in the assignment. Please make these corrections for full credit.
