How to determine sex, race and age by skeleton?

I have a little anatomy review tomorrow and just want a little heads start.

We are planning to look at skeletons and determine their sex, race and age. I just want to know some quick info on how to determine some of these stuff so i wont be struggling with it tomorrow.



Thank You for all helpHow to determine sex, race and age by skeleton?The pelvis of a female is wider allowing for childbirth, the men's are atypically smaller. Growth plates on various bones will show if the individual has grown to their maximum growth potential, and osteoporosis and decalcification.

Race is best identified by a skull, Caucasians have an angled gently sloping eye socket a triangular nasal cavity

Blacks typically have a much more rectangular eye socket, a smaller squatter nasal cavity, Asians typically have an oval shaped nasal cavity, and a rounder eye socket shape than the Caucasian or blacks.
