I'm Troy the X-ray Boy & this is Skeleton Warm Ups
whoa
all right guys the big day is here you are gonna learn the names of all the bones & this is
how we're gonna do it first I'm gonna tell you the name of the bone & then you're going to
learn a memory trick & a movement to really make it memorable okay so let's start off down
here near the back of the foot that's where we have 7 bones & these are called tarsal
bones so first thing we're learning something new let's break you down to something that we
already know tar & sole there's this black hot sticky tar it's on the soles of your feet & we
need to wipe it off we're gonna go tar sal tar sole & we'll do that 2 times all right ready
begin tar sal tar sole 1 tar sal tar sole 2 OK that was the tarsal bones let's move on
up into the shin that's where we have 2 bones we're gonna start off with a fibula that's on
the outside so a perfect move for this let's move the fibula bones side to side just like
this kind of like a sumo wrestler OK fibula big bula & we'll do that 2 times ready begin
fibula big bula 1 fibula big bula 2 that was the fibula that's on the outside let's go to
the inside where we have a larger tibia the tibia is the large bone on the inside
of your shin & tibia just like the country Libya this is how the move works we're gonna
cross our tibia bones make a T tibia & then Libya you pose like their neighbor all right we're
gonna do that 2 times ready begin tibia Libya 1 tibia Libya 2 that was the tibia let's move
on up to the patella that's the kneecap it sits in between these bones between...your upper leg &
your lower leg you can actually move it around in there and patella like Rihanna umbrella ella
ella ay & yes I do know that this is very silly but the weirder stranger the idea the easier
it is to remember so that being said when the music drops when the music drops you're gonna
dance any way that you want but you have to be patting your patella all right here we go
pat your patella ella ella ay ay ay
pat your patella ella ella ay ay ay ay ay ay
that was the patella & it fits in to the femur the femur is the biggest strongest bone in your
body & femur Lemur all right just like Madagascar think of King Julien the Lemur
he's on your femur & you've got to shake em off when the music starts you're gonna shake that lemur off your femur OK
shake that lemur, lemur, lemur, lemur shake that lemur, lemur, lemur off your femur
all right the femur at the top of it there is a ball it fits
into a cup within the pelvis & pelvis Elvis yes you remember him from Lilo & Stitch & back in
the day he would move his pelvis make everybody go crazy so that's what we're gonna do you're
gonna move your pelvis like Elvis so let's do it 5 6 7 8
move your pelvis like Elvis all the time move your pelvis like Elvis all the time
that was the pelvis & then the pelvis it connects to the spine there's many different parts in the
spine we're gonna start off with the lower back or lumbar spine just like lumberjack & their
lower back it needs to be strong because they're chopping trees all day long lower back lumberjack
& when you chop the tree down really twist those vertebrae in your lower back ready begin
lower back lumberjack 1 lower back lumberjack 2 that was the lumbar spine moving on up where we have
the ribs attaching to the thoracic spine these are the 12 vertebrae with the ribs attached
to the back & thoracic that means
it's time to call the Avengers everybody because we got Thor
& he wears this to protect his thoracic spine he's doing all this fighting & the fighting has
just made a mad okay he feels sick from all this fighting & when Thor feels sick he screams &
pounds on his chest plate Thor AAH Sick & we'll do that two times ready begin Thor AAH sick 1 Thor AAH sick 2
all right now the thoracic spine moving up to the top that's where we have the cervical
spine & these are the 7 bones in your neck & it's very important especially when you're
balancing things on your head this woman here is strengthening up her cervical spine with a basket
of fruit we don't have anything like that so we're not gonna serve fruit today we're gonna serve
pickle so grab a pickle put it on your head we're gonna go cervical serve pickle & we're gonna do
that 2 times all right ready begin cervical serve pickle 1 cervical serve pickle 2 all right
that was the cervical spine now we're done with the spine let's jump right over to the front of
our chest that's where we have the sternum the sternum is also known as the breastbone the front of the
ribs attach to it & the sternum instead of it being a bone imagine that you have a large spoon
sticking out of it now we have this big huge thing of hot soup we're gonna mix it up sternum stir um
& we'll do that 2 times ready begin sternum stir um 1 sternum stir um 2 that was the sternum now at the
top of the sternum it connects there's a bump here feel this area that's where it connects
to the collar bone or clavicle clap pickle you're gonna grab that pickle & clap it onto your clavicle ready begin
clavicle clap pickle 1 clavicle clap pickle 2 that was the clavicle keep feeling it at
the end there's another bump here that's where it connects to the scapula & scapula scab peel off
sorry it's a little gross all right but there's a wet hairy scab & we need to peel it off ready begin
scapula scab peel off 1 scapula scab peel off 2 yuck that was the scapula & it has a shallow
socket in it that's where the humerus connects & the humerus is also known as the funny bone this
is the perfect name for this bone because when you spell humerus like that that means funny so what
we're gonna do for this move is you're gonna hit your humerus humerus & then laugh hahaha ready begin
humerus ha ha ha 1 humerus ha ha ha 2 that was the humerus the humerus fits into a cup that's part
of the ulna you can actually feel on the pinky side of your wrist there's a bump here that's part
of the ulna on the other end there's a cup & ulna "L nah" like the letter L & you shake
your head Nah all right ready begin ulna L nah 1 ulna L nah 2 that was the ulna on the pinky side now
let's jump over to the thumb side this is the radius & the radius crosses over the ulna and
to remember that the radius is on the thumb side I want you to make a circle with your thumb & your
index finger because the radius of a circle the radius your forearm & we're gonna cross the bones radius
radius ready begin radius radius 1 radius radius 2 all right that was the radius &
that connects to the carpal bones these are the 8 bones in the wrist & carpal car pull
there's a very heavy car & we need to pull it all right 2 times ready begin carpal car pull 1
carpal car pull 2 all right guys now last but not least we have the phalanges &
these are the many mini bones in your fingers & your toes & what we're gonna do wait a
minute oh gross rotten cheese is covering the floor OK & we're gonna make our phalanges fall
in cheese ready begin phalanges fall in cheese 1 phalanges fall in cheese 2 OK now it's
time for the grand finale guys we're gonna combine everything that we learned starting off with the
tarsal bones & making our way up towards the phalanges are you guys ready?
I can't hear you
that's more like it all right get into position here we go
OK guys great job today you were able to learn the names of all the bones
with the help of some movements & a little imagination
now at the end of the video I am going to include a chart that has all the details from today
but I wanted to say 1 more time when you're learning things that are new think of something
that you already know & think of something silly OK whether it is the god of thunder
Thor Ahh Sick Thor Ahh Sick
or a lumberjack chopping down a tree
lower back lumberjack
timber!
you have to do whatever it takes to make it memorable OK just like this here's one of my Halloween skeletons
he looks like just an ordinary plastic skeleton but with a little music & a
little magic you'll see that he is also a pretty good dancer let's check it out
now that's what I'm talking about
