The axial skeleton is the part of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate. In the human skeleton, it consists of 80 bones and is composed of six parts; the skull (22 bones), the ossicles of the middle ear, the hyoid bone, the rib cage, sternum and the vertebral column.
287533
Axial and Appendicular Skeleton. The axial skeleton supports the head, neck, back, and chest and thus forms the vertical axis of the body. It consists of the skull, vertebral column (including the sacrum and coccyx), and the thoracic cage, formed by the ribs and sternum.

Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the parts of the body into different regions that contain structures that are involved in similar functions. ... The Axial Region makes up the main axis of the human body and includes the head, neck, chest, and trunk.

['A coronal or frontal plane divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions.', 'A transverse plane, also known as an axial plane or cross-section, divides the body into cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions.']

The skeleton is subdivided into two major divisions—the axial and appendicular. The axial skeleton forms the vertical, central axis of the body and includes all bones of the head, neck, chest, and back (Figure 1).

The axial skeleton includes the bones that form the skull, laryngeal skeleton, vertebral column, and thoracic cage.

The axial skeleton is derived from somites. The formation of the axial skeleton is more complex, however, than the simple subdivision of the paraxial mesoderm into somites and the medial displacement of sclerotomal cells within the somites to form primordia of the vertebrae.

The bones of the human skeleton are divided into two groups. The appendicular skeleton includes all the bones that form the upper and lower limbs, and the shoulder and pelvic girdles. The axial skeleton includes all the bones along the body's long axis.

The two broad divisions of the skeleton are the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.

The bones of the human skeleton are divided into two groups. ... The axial skeleton includes the bones that form the skull, laryngeal skeleton, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The bones of the appendicular skeleton (the limbs and girdles) “append” to the axial skeleton.
