To understand the osteological and topographic terms, you might know and identify all the bones in an animal skeleton. Here, the figure might help you identify the bones in the animal’s skeleton (for example, a cattle skeleton).
Here, Figure 1 shows the hotspots that you can hover over or click to display the name of the corresponding bone of the skeleton. In Figure 02 – 60, click on a specific bone to view detailed information about it.

You will get a short guide on the specific bone from the forelimb (Figure 02-15): identification of the features, a description of the bone, and a 3D model of that specific bone.
