question
which of the following are functions of the axial skeleton?
select all that apply
providing attachments for muscles that carry out respiratory movements
providing attachments for muscles that move the legs and feet
providing attachments for muscles that stabilize and position parts of the appendicular skeleton
providing attachments for muscles that adjust the position of the head, neck, and trunk

Explanation:

The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. It provides attachments for muscles involved in respiratory movements, and for muscles that adjust the position of the head, neck, and trunk. Muscles for leg - and - foot movement and for stabilizing the appendicular skeleton are attached to the appendicular skeleton, not the axial skeleton.

Answer:

• Providing attachments for muscles that carry out respiratory movements
• Providing attachments for muscles that adjust the position of the head, neck, and trunk
