Infobox Anatomy Name PAGENAME Latin skeleton appendiculare GraySubject GrayPage Image Appendicular skeleton diagram.svg Caption Appendicular skeleton diagram Image2 Caption2 Precursor System Artery Vein Nerve Lymph MeshName MeshNumber The appendicular skeleton is composed of 126 bones in the human body. The word appendicular is the adjective of the noun appendage, which itself means a part that is joined to something larger. Functionally it is involved in locomotion Lower limbs of the axial skeleton and manipulation of objects in the environment Upper limbs . The appendicular skeleton is divided into six major regions 1 Pectoral Girdles 4 bones Left and right Clavicle 2 and Scapula 2 . 2 Arm and Forearm 6 bones Left and right Humerus 2 Arm , Ulna 2 and Radius 2 Fore Arm . 3 Hands 58 bones Left and right Carpal 16 wrist , Metacarpal 10 , Proximal phalanges 10 , Middle phalanges 8 , distal phalanges 10 , and sesamoid 4 . 4 Pelvis 2 bones Left and right os coxae 2 ilium . 5 Thigh and leg 8 bones Femur 2 thigh , Tibia 2 , Patella 2 knee , and Fibula 2 leg . 6 Feet 56 bones Tarsus skeleton Tarsals 14 ankle , Metatarsals 10 , Proximal phalanges 10 , middle phalanges 8 , distal phalanges 10 , and sesamoid 4 . It is important to realize that through anatomical variation it is common for the skeleton to have many extra bones sutural bones in the skull, cervical ribs, lumbar ribs and even extra lumbar vertebrae The appendicular skeleton of 126 bones and the axial skeleton of 80 bones together form the complete skeleton of 206 bones in the human body. Unlike the axial skeleton, the appendicular skeleton is unfused. This allows for a much greater range of motion. ref Vizniak, N.A., 2008, Quick Reference Clinical Consultant Muscle Manual, Professional Health Systems Inc, Canada ref References references Bonesofskeleton Category Skeletal system ko ht Eskel t apendikil pt Esqueleto apendicular sq Gjymtyr t e poshtme t njeriut th tr Apendik ler iskelet kemikleri ... more details
