THE SKELETON
The typical human skeleton consists of 206 bones in adults. More bones are present at birth,
which gradually fuse together as the body matures.
The skeleton is divided into two parts. The axial skeleton includes the bones of the skull,
face and spine along with the ribs and breastbone. The appendicular skeleton includes the
bones of the arms, hands, legs, feet and pelvis as well as the clavicles and shoulder blades.
The skeleton serves several vital functions.

Bones and their functions

 Cranium: the skull; encloses/ protects the brain.
 Clavicle: also called the collarbone; allows your arms to hang freely.
 Ribs: act as a protective cage for the heart, lungs, and liver; there are 12 pairs
of ribs.
 Radius: lateral, shorter bone of the forearm.
 Ulna: inner, larger bone of the forearm.
 Metacarpals: the five bones of the metacarpus, located between the wrist and
the fingers.
 Femur: the thighbone; the longest and strongest bone in the body.
 Tibia: the inner, larger bone of the lower leg.
 Tarsals: the seven bones of the ankle joint.
 Scapula: also called the shoulder blade; provides a foundation for joint function.
 Mandible: the jawbone; holds the lower teeth in place; it is the strongest bone
in the face.
 Stapes: located in the middle ear; the smallest bone in the body.
 Humerus: upper arm bone; supports arm functions, such as lifting.
 Vertebrae: any of the 33 bones of the spinal column.
 Pelvis: located near the base of the spine where the hind limbs/legs are
attached; this bone is separated in children and fused together in adults.
 Carpals: any of the 8 bones of the carpus/ wrist.
 Phalanges: any of the bones of the fingers.
