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.
