Question
which are the two major portions of the skeleton?
o pelvic and pectoral
o compact and spongy
o axial and appendicular
The human skeleton is divided into two main parts. The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the body and includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the upper and lower limbs, as well as the pectoral and pelvic girdles that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton. Pelvic and pectoral are girdles within the appendicular skeleton. Compact and spongy are types of bone tissue, not major portions of the skeleton.
