I.- PROJECT NAME: OBTAINING THE SKELETON OF A
MAMMAL (dog)
II.- PRIOR CONSIDERATIONS:
2.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
This project aims to deepen the study of the skeletal system of the
animals, in this case of a vertebrate, representative of the class of mammals, of the family
canidae, of the genus Canis, scientifically named Canis familiaris, common name: dog.
2.2 JUSTIFICACIÓN:
In the study of the skeletal system of animals, it is very important to have visual materials.
that help to appreciate in all their detail the shapes, structure, and spatial arrangement of the
bones. The sheets, diagrams, photographs, and documentaries are undoubtedly materials
valuable to reinforce and facilitate this study, but having a natural skeleton is to have a
enriching and impressive educational material, whenever you can appreciate it in full detail
each of the bones that make up the skeletal system and thus be able to capture more easily the
theoretical knowledge.
All these reasons are what motivated us to carry out this research work.
which undoubtedly is a contribution both in theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as a legacy
for the educational institution, contributing to academic training with teaching materials of
vanguard
• DIDACTIC IMPORTANCE
We consider that the execution of this project is important because it allows for study.

each bone, check its characteristics and make comparisons with skeletons of others
animals and even of human beings.
2.3 MATERIALS, INSTRUMENTS, AND REAGENTS:
Materials:
Metal container
Primus or electric stove
Drill and bit
Small arms
Jewelry wire
Wooden board
¾ inch wire support
Acrylic painting
Varnish
Instruments:
Surgical dissection instrument
Latex gloves
Mask
Reagents:
Tap water
Cal
Salt
III.- THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:
As we know, the skeletal system is characterized by giving shape, support, and providing it.
stiffness in the body, is the system that aids locomotion along with the muscular system,
it also serves to protect the organs vulnerable to blows such as the brain and
visceral organs such as the heart, lungs, etc.
IV.- OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK:
4.1 PROCEDURE: This work must be carried out in nine stages:
First stage: Collection of the specimen to be worked with, for this purpose...
will choose a small ordinary breed dog.
Second stage: An injection will be given so that the little animal does not suffer.
Third stage: In a suitable metal container, fill it with water up to ¾.
parts, and when it is boiling, the dead animal will be added, A handful of lime will be added
and let it boil for two hours, until the meat and the skin are well cooked. It
it will ensure that the water covers the entire body of the animal.
Fourth stage: Then the animal will be removed from the boiling water, and it will be allowed to drain.
a few minutes, and on a dissecting table, the organs will be removed with the
help from latex gloves and dissection instruments. It is important to use
protective masks. Once the skeleton is obtained, it will be left soaking in water.
Fifth stage: Cleaning the skeleton; for this, the skeleton will be boiled again.
for half an hour, then they will withdraw from the water and with the dissection instruments
He will try to remove the cartilages and skins that are attached to the bones.
Sixth step: The skeleton will be left to dry by adding salt, in order to dry the
pieces of meat that may have remained attached to the bones, as well as the marrow
espinal. The drying will take about three or four days.
Seventh step: Then a thorough cleaning will be done with the help of a magnifying glass and of
dissection instrument, ensuring that no trace of skin remains in the
bones.
Eighth stage: The assembly of the skeleton will proceed, with the help of a sheet of
skeletal system, being careful to place each bone in the position it corresponds to,
to be able to show the most important articulated parts with the help of connectors,
jewelry wire, fine diameter drill bits, and a drill are used to make holes in the
extremities and in the jaws.
Ninth stage: To give it a finish and preserve the skeleton, a paint will be applied.
acrylic and a varnish to prevent the bone from being chipped. A metal support will be designed.

wood previously painted with varnish.

4.3 RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS:
According to the project carried out, we have been able to reach the following conclusions:
It has been verified in practice the shape, configuration, and conformation of each one of
the bones of the animal
In the stage of boiling the meat, one must be careful not to add too much.
amount of lime, because there is a risk that all the muscle mass will break down
including part of the structure of the bone.
The work of skinning and peeling the bones must be done very carefully.
not to lose any bones, especially to be very careful with the bones more
small.
For assembling the skeleton, it is advisable to have a sheet of the bone system.

The work was completed by applying a protective layer of special varnish, we did not use paint.

Finally, a photo of the completed work was taken, which we include below.
