The principal division of the skeletal system that consists of 126 bones Appendicular Skeleton
The 2 divisions of the skeletal system Axial & Appendicular
Skull, ear bones, hyoid bone, ribs, sternum, & bones of the vertebral column are in the Axial Skeleton system
Bones in the upper & lower limbs & bones forming the shoulder & pelvic area that connect limbs to skeleton Appendicular Skeleton system

Also know as the breastbone - flat & located in the center of the anterior thoracic wall Sternum
These provide support to the thoracic cavity - twelve pairs Ribs
Number of True Ribs, False Ribs, & Floating Ribs True- 1-7, False- 8,9,10 Floating Ribs- 11 & 12
In the vertebral column- may occur due to trauma or simply associated with aging Herniated Disc
Increased lateral curvature Scoliosis
Increased Thoracic curve-bent forward Kyphosis
Increased lumbar curve-bent backwards Lordosis
Congenital defect of the vertebral column where the Laminae do not develop normally Spina Bifida
