Question

The divisions of the skeletal system include (the)________.
A) dorsal and ventral
B) axial and appendicular
C) proximal and distal
D) cranial, caudal, and anterior
E) None of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

The axial skeleton includes the bones of the skull, vertebral column, and ribcage, while the appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the upper and lower limbs, as well as the bones that anchor them to the axial skeleton. Therefore, B is the correct answer. A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not describe the divisions of the skeletal system.
