Which statement is true about the appendicular skeleton of the human body?

It consists of two groups, the bones along the main axis and the bones that connect the limbs to the axial skeleton.
It consists of the vertebral column and all the bones that directly connect to it.
It consists of the bones that form the limbs and the bones that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton.
It consists only of the pelvic girdle and the bones that lie below it.

The right answer is C. It consists of the bones that form ...

The appendicular skeleton is the skeleton of the limbs. This skeleton is related to the vertebral column thanks to the zonal skeleton.

The zonal skeletons allow connecting the limbs to the spine. We distinguish the pectoral belt in the front position and the pelvic girdle. Poorly developed in Pisces, they gain importance in the conquest of the air environment. Water no longer supporting the weight of the body, it is the belts to take care of it. They must, therefore, be solid while allowing locomotion.
