Which part of the skeletal system protects the brain?

• pelvis

• ribs

• scapula

• cranium/skull

Identify the function of the Axial skeletal structure.

• Locomotion

• Movement

• Protection

• Stature

Identify any of the 126 Appendicular Bones

• Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges,

• cranial, sternum, thorax, ossicles

• metacarpals, phalanges, sacrum, coccyx

• hyoid, humerus, sacrum, sternum

Identify the function(s) of the axial skeleton

• to provide support and protection for the brain, the spinal cord, and the organs in the ventral body cavity

• to support core of limbs

• to provides a surface for the attachment of muscles that move the head, neck, and trunk

• to performs respiratory movements

The appendicular skeleton consists of the limbs and girdles. Identify the girdles that are matched correctly to attached limbs.

• pelvic girdle is the attachment point for our thigh bone

• pectoral girdle is formed by the clavicle and scapula

• pectoral girdle serves as the attachment point for humerus and consists of ilium, icshium, and pubis

• pelvic girdle is the attachment point for femur
