Answer
The two major parts of the skeleton are the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.
The axial skeleton consists of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage. It forms the central axis of the body.
The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs (arms and legs) and the girdles (shoulder and pelvic girdles) that attach them to the axial skeleton.
