The axial skeleton consists of the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. It supports and protects organs in the cranial cavity (houses the brain) and thoracic cavity (houses heart, lungs etc.). The abdominal cavity is more protected by the lower - part of the axial skeleton and the abdominal muscles. The pleural cavity (around the lungs) and pericardial cavity (around the heart) are within the thoracic cavity but are more specific cavities. The axial skeleton's main protection and support is for the cranial and thoracic cavities.
