Work Step by Step
There are 206 bones in the human skeleton. These bones have been divided into two large groups, namely, the axial bones and the appendicular bones. The axial bones comprises the cranial bones, the face bones and the bones of the vertebral column; also included in this group are the sternum, the ribs, the hyoid bone, and the ear ossicles. The class of appendicular bones is comprised of pectoral girdle( clavicle and scapula), upper limb bones ( humerus to phalanges), bones of the pelvic girdle, and lower limb bones( femur to phalanges).
