Osteology

the branch of anatomy that primarily focuses on the skeleton and bony structures

Examples

1. Sea lions are mammals, and their osteology and shapes of their bones are completely different than what you see in Liopleurodon.

2. that was the osteology episode and so i think i've thought of myself returning to the earth more than i had before i did a phanetology episode

3. But Vesalius revolutionized osteology, and all of medicine, by introducing a new practice, every pre-med student's favorite, human dissection!

4. Perhaps Vesalius's greatest contribution was showing the world that everything we though we knew about osteology, was wrong.
