The appendicular skeleton is one of the two main divisions of the human skeleton, with the other being the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs, pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle), and pelvic girdle (hip girdle). It provides support and allows for movement of the body. The bones of the arms and legs are a significant part of the appendicular skeleton.

Bones of the upper limb:






Clavicle (collar bone) - 2 bones, one on each side.


Scapula (shoulder blade) – 2 bones, one on each side.


Humerus - 2 bones, one in each upper arm.


Radius - 2 bones, one in each arm towards the thumb.


Ulna - 2 bones, one rostral in each arm.


Carpals - 16 bones in total, 8 in each wrist.


Metacarpals : Ten bones, there are five bones in each palm.


Phalanges - 28 bones, 14 in each hand (3 for each finger and 2 for the thumb).






Bones of the lower limbs:






Pelvic (hip) bones - 2 hip bones, each formed by the union of the ilium, ischium, and pubis.


Femur - 2 bones, one in each thigh.


Patella (knee cap) - 2 bones, one in each knee.


Tibia - 2 bones, one on the inner side of each lower leg.


Fibula - 2 bones, one on the outside of each lower leg.


Tarsal - 14 bones total, 7 in each ankle.


Metatarsals - Ten bones, there are five bones in each foot




Phalanges - 28 bones, 14 in each foot (3 for each toe and 2 for the big toe).






In total, the apical skeleton consists of 126 bones in the human body. These bones play an important role in providing support, enabling movement and protecting vital organs.
