Question

Pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle and limb bones are constituted with

• A. Visceral skeleton
• B. Outer skeleton
• C. Axial skeleton
• D. Appendicular skeleton

Answer 1

The correct option is D Appendicular skeleton

In human beings, the skeletal system is made up of 206 bones and a few cartilages. It is grouped into two principal divisions, the axial and the appendicular skeleton.

Axial skeleton comprises 80 bones distributed along the main axis of the body.

The skull, vertebral column, sternum and ribs constitute axial skeleton. The bones of the limbs along with their girdles (pectoral and pelvic) constitute the appendicular skeleton.
