Detailed explanation-1: -These bones can be grouped in two divisions: axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton. The 80 bones of the axial skeleton form the vertical axis of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The appendicular skeleton is comprised of the upper and lower extremities, which include the shoulder girdle and pelvis. The shoulder girdle and pelvis provide connection points between the appendicular skeleton and the axial skeleton to where mechanical loads transfer.

Detailed explanation-3: -The skeleton is subdivided into two major divisions-the axial and appendicular.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are 126 named bones of the appendicular skeleton (all bones exist in pairs) [1]: Upper Limb. Shoulder girdle: Clavicle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your axial skeleton is made up of the bones in your head, neck, back and chest. Your appendicular skeleton is made up of everything else-the bones that attach (append) to your axial skeleton. Your appendicular skeleton includes the bones in your shoulders, pelvis and limbs, including your arms, hands, legs and feet.
