Human Skeleton Word Search, free printable PDF preview

The adult human skeleton has 206 bones, and many have familiar names. The cranium protects the brain and forms most of the skull. The spine is a column of each vertebra, the ribcage shields the heart and lungs, and the sternum sits at its center. The clavicle is the collarbone, the humerus the upper arm, the pelvis the hips, the femur the thigh, and the patella the kneecap. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.

Frequently asked questions

What is the femur in this human skeleton word search?

The FEMUR is the thigh bone, the longest and strongest of all human bones, running from the PELVIS at the hip to the knee.

What is the difference between the skull and the cranium?

The SKULL is all the bones of the head together, while the CRANIUM refers specifically to the domed part that encloses the brain.
