What does the axial skeleton consist of?

Limbs and girdles
Skull, spine, ribs, and sternum
Joints and ligaments
Bones and cartilages

The correct answer is: Skull, spine, ribs, and sternum

The axial skeleton consists of the bones that form the central axis of the body, including the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum. These bones provide structural support and protect vital organs such as the brain, spinal cord, and heart. Option A is incorrect because limbs and girdles refer to the appendicular skeleton, which includes the bones of the arms and legs as well as the pelvis and shoulder girdles. Option C is incorrect because while joints and ligaments are found within the axial skeleton, they are not the primary components of this skeletal division. Option D is incorrect because while bones and cartilages are essential in the skeletal system, this is too broad of a term and does not specifically identify the axial skeleton.
