The axial skeleton is the central part of the skeleton, without the limbs. It's made up of the skull, spinal column, breastbone, and ribs. The rest of the bones make up the appendicular skeleton. Together, the axial and appendicular skeleton make up the human skeleton.

Think of the axle rod on a car with the wheels at each end. Put the wheels on top and on the bottom. The axle rod now will be between the two wheels. As far as the skeleton goes, the axial skeleton is the part that is in the middle (head, spine, rib cage and pelvis). All other skeletal parts are attached to the axle skeleton and are part of the appendicular skeleton.
