The Skeletal System

Learn about the 126 bones comprising the Appendicular Skeleton, including the limbs, pectoral girdle, and pelvic girdle. Discover how bones like the clavicle and scapula facilitate free movement. Explore the upper limbs' bones like humerus, ulna, and radius, along with the hand's carpals and phalanges.
