The axial skeleton consists of the bones that form the long axis of the body, primarily including the skull, vertebral column (spine), and rib cage. These bones serve to protect vital organs, support the head and trunk, and provide attachment points for muscles. Major components include the cranium, mandible, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae, as well as the sternum and ribs.
