Exploring The Human Skeleton: Axial And Appendicular System Insights

The video tutorial provides an overview of the human skeleton, differentiating between the axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage, forming the body's core. The appendicular skeleton consists of the upper and lower extremities, including the pectoral and pelvic girdles. The tutorial emphasizes the connection points between the axial and appendicular skeletons, such as the shoulder blade, clavicle, and pelvis.

What are the two main divisions of the human skeleton?

• Cranial and Facial

• Axial and Appendicular

• Thoracic and Lumbar

• Upper and Lower

Which part of the skeleton includes the skull and vertebral column?

• Facial Skeleton

• Appendicular Skeleton

• Cranial Skeleton

• Axial Skeleton

What is the function of the thoracic cage in the axial skeleton?

• Connects the arms to the body

• Protects the heart and lungs

• Protects the brain

• Supports the lower limbs

Which bones are part of the pectoral girdle?

• Femur and Tibia

• Radius and Ulna

• Ilium and Ischium

• Scapula and Clavicle

What is the main bone of the upper arm?

• Humerus

• Tibia

• Femur

• Radius

Which bones form the pelvic girdle?

• Femur and Patella

• Radius and Ulna

• Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis

• Scapula and Clavicle

What is the bone in the lower leg that is not the tibia?

• Patella

• Humerus

• Fibula

Which bone connects the axial skeleton to the lower extremities?

• Humerus

• Pelvis

• Scapula

• Clavicle

What is the role of the clavicle in the skeleton?

• Protects the brain

• Forms the knee joint

• Supports the lower limbs

• Connects the arm to the body

Where does the transition from axial to appendicular skeleton occur?

• At the skull

• At the shoulder blade and pelvis
