\b[TODO: The displayed <bone> is unavailable and unidentified; its name, side and individual attachments cannot be determined from the paper.] This leaf remains incomplete.
With the actual <bone>, first establish its identity and <anatomical position> from its shape and characteristic landmarks. Where applicable, establish the side by combining several landmarks rather than choosing a side from an isolated prominence. Describe the ends or principal parts, surfaces, borders, processes, grooves and openings in a reproducible order. Identify the surfaces forming each <anatomical joint>, their partners and any covering of <cartilage> evident or inferred from the normal <anatomy>. Do not claim that a dry preparation retains all the soft parts.
Then give each named <muscle>, its exact attachment landmark and whether this is its <muscle origin> or <muscle insertion>. Name the attached <ligaments> and any passing or attached <tendons>, distinguishing a groove transmitting a <tendon> from a true <muscle insertion>. A <tendon> is the means by which many <muscles> attach; it should not be counted as an unrelated second attachment. An appropriate completed record would therefore associate every attachment with a named landmark, rather than merely list neighbouring <muscles>. No such specimen-specific record can be filled in here without inventing the missing <bone>.
