Answer:

The axial skeleton includes the bones that form the skull, laryngeal skeleton, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. The bones of the appendicular skeleton (the limbs and girdles) “append” to the axial skeleton.

Axial: sternum, mandible, vertebrae
Appendicular: phalanges, tibia, scapula,

Remember axial is the middle of the skeleton (cranium, spine etc). While appendicular is surrounding the axial (like your limbs etc)
