What skeleton is composed of 126 bones of the appendages and pectoral and pelvic girdles?
An appendicular skeleton is composed of 126 bones of the appendages, and pectoral and pelvic girdles.
Important to relate the structures of the axial and appendicular skeleton to one another?
The Skeleton can be divided into Axial and Appendicular portions. The Axial Skeleton, is the head and trunk, and include the bones of the skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The Appendicular Skeleton, contains the pelvic and pectoral girdles, as well as the upper and lower limbs. The limbs and girdles, of the Appendicular Skeleton, attach to the Axial Skeleton.
Does a pectoral girdle have a shallow or deep socket?
the pectoral has a shallow socket while the pelvic has a deep, secure socket. both for limb attachment.
What are the 5 types of fins?
caudal fin-the tail pectoral fin-the tail on the ventral side of the shark just above the pelvic fins pelvic fin- the underside fins that serve as the "arms" of the shark dorsal fin-the top fin that is usually seen on the surface of water in shark attacks

Hypothesize why the pelvic bones of a four-legged animal such as a cat or pig are much less massive than those of a human?
In a four-legged animal, the weight of the body would be distributed between the pelvic and pectoral girdles. In humans, the pelvis has to support the weight of the whole trunk.
Are girdles in the axial skeleton?
no, they are found in the appendicular skeleton
The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the what?
The part of the skeleton that includes the pectoral girdle and the pelvic girdle and the upper and lower limbs.
Compare the pectoral and pelvic girdles in terms of flexibility allowed?
Flexibility: pectoral girdle is more flexible-less ligaments, ball and socket joint is shallower Security: pelvic girdle is more secure, deeper socket. there are more dislocated shoulders than dislocated hips ability to bear weight: pelvic girdle can bear more weight-the pelvic girdle has bones that are fused (os coxa) and a joint with the sacrum. the pectoral girdle has a little bone called the clavicle connecting it to the body wall.
