Question

Which of the following is an example of appendicular skeleton?

• A. Bones of the skull
• B. Bones of the vertebral column
• C. Bones of the forelimb and hind limb
• D. (a) and (b)

Answer 1

The correct option is C Bones of the forelimb and hind limb

The axial skeleton is the part of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate.
The bones of the appendicular skeleton make up the rest of the skeleton, and are so called because they are appendages of the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the shoulder girdle, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle, and the lower limbs.
