Appendicular Skeleton
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The appendicular skeleton comprises the limbs and the girdles that attach them to the axial skeleton, primarily supporting locomotion and manipulation rather than organ protection.
Show
The pelvic girdle anchors the leg bones to the axial skeleton, transmitting weight from spine to ground.
Watch for
A girdle bone belongs to the appendicular division even though it touches the axial skeleton directly.
