Expert Solution
Step 1

The bones are the vital body parts that form the skeletal system and are responsible for providing structural support to the soft tissues and organs present in the body. In an adult human body, there are a total of 206 bones that form the skeleton. The human skeletal system can be divided into two types of the skeleton: the axial  skeleton and appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton includes all those bones that form the vertical and central axis of the body. The  bones of the head, neck, chest, and back makeup the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton, on the other hand, is formed by all the bones of the upper and lower limbs, as well as the bones that attach each limb to the axial skeleton, such as, shoulder and pelvic girdle.
