How many bones are in the appendicular skeleton?

  1. 80

  2. 126

  3. 206

  4. 112

The correct answer is: 126

The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of the limbs and their girdles, which attach the limbs to the axial skeleton. This includes the bones of the arms, legs, pelvis, and shoulder girdle. The axial skeleton, on the other hand, consists of the bones along the body's midline, including the skull, spine, and rib cage. Since the appendicular skeleton accounts for a significant portion of the body's total bone count, it is reasonable to assume that there would be more than 112 or 80 bones. Additionally, the total number of bones in the human skeleton is 206, so this would rule out options A and C. Thus, the most accurate answer is B 126 bones in the appendicular skeleton.
