Axial and Appendicular Skeleton

Identify the function of the Axial skeletal structure.

• Locomotion

• Movement

• Protection

• Stature

We are composed of one skeleton that can be divided into two major regions, the axial and appendicular skeleton. Identify the structures that make up the axial skeleton,

• talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, and cuneiform

• limbs and girdles

• skull, vertebrae, ribs and sternum

• hands, arms and shoulder girdle

Identify the bones NOT identified as Appendicular bones

• 26 bones in the vertebral column (24 vertebrae, the sacrum, and the coccyx)

• Left and right clavicle (2) and scapula (2).

• Arms and forearms (6 bones) - Left and right humerus (2) (arm), ulna (2) and radius (2) (forearm).

• Pectoral girdles (4 bones)

Identify bones in human hand

• carpal, metacarpal, phalanges

• humerus, radial, ulna

• metatarsal, tarsals, phalanges

• femur, patella, tibia, fibula

Identify any of the 126 Appendicular Bones
