Key Concepts

Axial Skeleton

The axial skeleton forms the central framework of the body and is composed of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage. This division not only supports the head and trunk but also protects vital organs such as the brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs.

Appendicular Skeleton

The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the limbs and the girdles (shoulder and pelvic) that connect them to the axial skeleton. It is essential for movement and interaction with the environment, facilitating locomotion and manipulation of objects.
