Appendicular skeleton.
The Axial Skeleton
Axial, skull, backbone, bony thorax, appendicular skeleton, upper appendages, periosteum, compact bone, spongy bone.
Tarsals are NOT part of the axial skeleton. The axial skeleton includes the head and trunk. Tarsals would be part of the appendicular skeleton which consists of your appendages (arms and legs from the shoulder and hip joints out).
Carpals are NOT part of the axial skeleton. The axial skeleton includes the head and trunk. Carpals would be part of the appendicular skeleton which consists of your appendages (arms and legs from the shoulder and hip joints out).
The spinal column is part of the axial skeleton. (The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the appendages. These would include all of the arm and hand bones, and leg and foot bones.)
Head and trunk of your body, compared to your appendicular skeleton system which is you appendages (arms, legs,pelvic girdle)
The axial skeleton is made up of five mainparts. This is the skull, the ossicles of the inner ear, the hyoied bone (I don't know the accurate spelling) of the throat, the rib cage and the vertebral column. If we put the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton together, it would form the full human skeleton. //
Axial Skeleton: forms the axis of the body(Examples: skull, vertebrae, rib cage)Appendicular Skeleton: limb bones and their girdles(Examples: Upper limbs, clavicle, scapula; lower limbs, pelvis)
The appendicular skeleton is composed of 126 bones, including those of the upper and lower limbs as well as the pectoral and pelvic girdles. These bones are important for movement and provide connections to the axial skeleton.
Axial Sue The Librarian Axial Skeleton
The axial skeleton comprises the bones of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, serving to protect vital organs and support the body's central structure. In contrast, the appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs and the girdles (shoulder and pelvic) that attach them to the axial skeleton, facilitating movement and mobility. Essentially, the axial skeleton provides stability and protection, while the appendicular skeleton is primarily involved in locomotion and manipulation of the environment.
Yes, the ribs are part of the axial skeleton.
