The human skeletal system is divided into two principal subdivisions: the axial and appendicular skeleton.
The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the human body and is composed of 80 bones that include the bones of the skull, the ossicles of the middle ear, the hyoid bone of the throat, the vertebral column, and the thoracic cage. It also provides protection and support for the brain, spinal cord and vital organs, in addition to providing a surface for muscles to attach to.
The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones that include both the upper and lower limbs and bones of the shoulders and pelvis.
