Osteology courses
Osteology is the branch of anatomy that studies the bones of the human body. It examines the structure, shape, function, and classification of bones, as well as their development, growth, and pathology. Osteology is essential for understanding the biomechanics of the body, joint movements, protection of internal organs, and structural support of the body. It is also used in forensic medicine for the identification of individuals from skeletal remains.
