The axial skeleton, making up 80 of your 206 bones, encompasses all your upper body bones. It itself is subdivided into three groups: the skull, the vertebral-sound column, and the bony thorax-sound. It's main purposes are to protect your vital organs, such as the brain, heart, and lungs, and to provide an efficient structure to preform a variety of work.
