🗑
11. What bones are part of the appendicular skeleton   The appendicular skeleton is composed of 126 bones that form the appendages to the axial skeleton: upper and lower limbs; the bones that hold the limbs to the trunk of the body.

🗑
20. What is kyphosis   an exaggerated thoracic curvature that is directed posteriorly, producing a “hunchback” look.  
🗑
21. What is scoliosis   an abnormal lateral curvature that sometimes results during development when both the vertebral arch and body fail to form, or form incompletely, on one side of a vertebra.  scoliosis is the most common spinal curvature deformity.
