Module Eight Lesson Three Notes Outline Student Name: Riley Morrow Introduction 5 pts Write a 1-2 sentences for each paragraph of the article, detailing the information each body part can offer. Teeth and bones contain a lifetime of personal information. Some evidence is fixed, while others vary over the course of a life. The biological profile of every skeleton is unique. After fingerprints and facial features are unrecognziable, skeletons can still help identify. Vocabulary 15 pts Using the directions in the course, create your vocabulary review below for the following terms: anatomical positioning, biological profile, identification of victim by teeth, types of teeth, universal system of ID by teeth, forensic facial reconstruction, epiphyseal plate, ossification, humerus, femur Anatomical Positioning- Positioning with body erect arms at side and palms forward. Biological Profile- Determination of sex, age, ancestry, and stature from skeletal remains. Identification of Victim by Teeth- Victim may be indentified from dental records or DNA from teeth. Insicors- 4 insicors, two central, two lateral. Single rooted, crowns are arched and angle toward on sharp incisal edge. Used to cut or incise food. Canines- Next to lateral incisors establishes the cornerning of the arches. Anchored with the longest root, one pointed cusp. Used for holding, grasping, and tearing food. Premolar- 4 premolars 2 first premolars 2 second premolars. Maxillary first premolars have bifurcated root all others have one. One prominent cusp with one or two less lingual cusps Molars- Used for grinding food. Universal System of ID by teeth- Adopted by ADA and used by most dentists today. Forensic Facial Reconstruction- Artists work with forensic scientists to recreate the face of an individual whose identity is not known, from skeletal remains. Epiphyseal Plate- Growth plate the area of active growth of a bone used to tell age. Ossification- The process of bone replacing cartilage as the bone develops. Humerus- Upper arm bone used in estimating height Femur- Upper leg bone used in estimating height. Lesson Notes 50 pts Using the directions in the course, create your notes for each big idea below:

Big Idea 1: A forensic anthropologist works on several types of cases with the same basic process. ● Forensic anthropologists use skeletal anatomy to identify remains. ● Used in cases with unknown skeletal remains, mass disasters, bodies in avanced decomposistion, and severly burned victims. ● First step is to determine if the bones are human or animal ● Then each bone and tooth is identified and catalouged ● Bones are then reassembled into a complete skeleton. Big Idea 2: A biological profile is built using clues from the skeleton for age, sex, diseases, injuries, and height. ● If possible DNA is extracted from bones and teeth. ● Bones can tell age by looking at bone growth plates, ossification, and bone degeneration. ● Sex can be told by the bones based on structure of the pelvis and skull ● Broken bones can be shown by scars ● Measuring certain bones can show the height of a person Big Idea 3: Facial reconstruction and teeth are both used to identify the victim. ● Uses clues from the skull and and reference points of different tissue depths ● Anatomical features such as asymetry or a broken nose is evidence ● Knowledge of age, sex, and ethnicity improve the chance of an accurate reconstruction ● Usually performed by a sculptor but now can be used by 3d technology Reflection 5 pts Write 2-5 sentences reflecting on what you have learned in this
