What is difference between axial and appendicular skeleton?
The appendicular skeleton includes all the bones that form the upper and lower limbs, and the shoulder and pelvic girdles. The axial skeleton includes all the bones along the body's long axis. ... The axial skeleton includes the bones that form the skull, laryngeal skeleton, vertebral column, and thoracic cage.
What are three axial and appendicular skeleton?
Axial and Appendicular Skeletons The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the body and consists of the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The appendicular skeleton consists of the pectoral and pelvic girdles, the limb bones, and the bones of the hands and feet.
What is appendicular skeleton?
The appendicular skeleton is one of two major bone groups in the body, the other being the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton is comprised of the upper and lower extremities, which include the shoulder girdle and pelvis.
Why is it called axial and appendicular skeleton?
The bones of the human skeleton are divided into two groups. The axial skeleton includes all the bones (that form bony structures) along the body's long axis. The bones of the appendicular skeleton make up the rest of the skeleton, and are so called because they are appendages of the axial skeleton.
What are the 5 classifications of bones?
There are five types of bones in the skeleton: flat, long, short, irregular, and sesamoid. Let's go through each type and see examples.
What does the appendicular skeleton protect?
The appendicular skeleton supports the attachment and functions of the upper and lower limbs of the human body.
What are the 8 appendicular bones?
Appendicular Skeleton (126 bones)
- Humerus (2)
- Radius (2)
- Ulna (2)

Which bones are in the axial skeleton?
The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the body and includes the bones of the skull, ossicles of the middle ear, hyoid bone of the throat, vertebral column, and the thoracic cage (ribcage) (Figure 1).
What bones are axial appendicular?
The axial skeleton forms the vertical axis of the body and includes the bones of the head, neck, back, and chest of the body. It consists of 80 bones that include the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones and includes all bones of the upper and lower limbs.
What are the 2 prime functions of the appendicular skeleton?
The appendicular skeleton is composed of the bones of the upper limbs (which function to grasp and manipulate objects) and the lower limbs (which permit locomotion).
What part make on the appendicular skeleton?
The human appendicular skeleton is composed of the bones of the upper limbs, the lower limbs, the pectoral girdle, and the pelvic girdle. The pectoral girdle acts as the point of attachment of the upper limbs to the body. The upper limb consists of the arm, the forearm, and the wrist and hand.
What types of joints are in the appendicular skeleton?
The arms and legs, appendages of the body, are very similar in form. Each attaches to the girdle, pectoral or pelvic, via a ball and socket joint, a special type of synovial joint. In the shoulder, the socket, called the glenoid cavity, is shallow.
