Axial or Appendicular Skeleton• Axial Skeleton: The skeleton formed by the

vertebrae column, rib cage, sternum, and the skull which are the main middle parts.

• Appendicular Skeleton: The skeleton formed by the lateral parts as the pelvic girdle, upper limbs, and upper limbs.

• The sutures on the back of the skull are “fibrous joint "which enables protection & tiny movement by compliance and elasticity.

• Number 10 is the scapula or aka shoulder blade on the back of the back to provide proper function joint of the humerus and the clavicle.

• We can also see the upper part of the vertebrae column which is the cervical (neck pert giving support to the head), and the thoracic (middle part supporting mainly the back).

• Below the thoracic column, is the lumbar which supports the lower back.

• Under the lumbar column is the sacral, which supports upper body weight connecting to the pelvis and the legs.

• Then there is the curved end, tailbone which is the coccyx. This is a tailbone which helps support body when sitting.

• My partner and I color-coded the vertebrae column to see the 5 sections of the vertebrae.

• The orange area is the cervical (neck area).

• Second is the blue area which is the thoracic area ( upper back).

• Third is the green area which is the lumbar (lower back).

• Fourthly is the purple which is the sacral (behind the pelvis).

• Lastly, is the pink which is the coccyx ( curved end, tailbone).

• The area with the rectangle shape is the sternum’s parts into 3 sections.

• First part is the Manubrium.• Second part is the Body.• Third parts is the Xiphoid Process.• Sternum aka breast stone, is to protect

vital organs within the chest and a keystone connecting the cervical, rib cage, humerus, and etc.

• The starred area is the lateral edge of the clavicle (#18 aka collar bone).

• Number 2 is the mandible which is the lower jaw bone to move the jaw to talk or eat.

• Number 3 is the sternum.

• The area marked with the square is the pelvis. This is the bone that differs in women and men body, because the women’s pelvis is more rounder than a men’s.

• You can also see number 4 which is the radius outer lower arm skeleton.

• Number 20 is the ulna which is the inner lower arm skeleton.

• Number 13 is the pelvic girdle, the pelvis or hip bone.

• Number 14 is the femur which is thigh bone.

• Number 19 is the humerus which is the upper arm bone.

• Number 6 is the rib cage.

• Number 17 is the patella aka knee cap acts as a shield for your knee joint.

• Number 7 is the tibia, the inner lower leg bone that joints with the femur.

• Number 8 is the fibula, the outer lower leg bone connecting to the femur joint as well to support the upper body and to move (walk).

• Number 15 is the tarsals aka ankle which joints the feet with the tibia and fibula. The tarsal enables spectacular rotating and movement so that we can walk and be active.

• Number 16 is metatarsals are the middle bones of the foot which help support when standing.

• Number 5 is the phalanges that is also the toes and fingers, but in this picture it is the toes that are another part to support standing, walking, and running.

• Number 11 is the carpals aka wrist where the end of the arm joints together with the carpal and enables certain extent of movement.

• Number 12 is the metacarpals, the middle bone section in the hand extending to the phalanges which allows to grab and hold.

• Number 5 is the phalanges which is the fingers attached to the metacarpals to also help grab and hold things.
