There skeletons of all vertebrates are built on the same basic plan. Each skeleton has
• an axial skeleton which forms the main central axis, and
• an appendicular skeleton which consists of parts that articulate with the axial skeleton.
The skull , vertebral column, breastbone or sternum and ribs form the axial skeleton, while the limbs gridles ( shoulders and hips) and limb form the appendicular skeleton.
