E-skeltons is an interactive site that allows participants to learn about skeletal anatomy by viewing the bones of a human, chimpanzee, and baboon. Users select a bone from the list of four bone types on the skeletal image, and launch the bone viewer. A detailed look at each bone from six viewing angle options is provided.

 

There is also the option to make a comparison with another species (chimpanzee or baboon) in the Comparative Anatomy section enables users to make direct comparisons of bones.
