Abstract
The vertebrate skeletal Bauplan consists of two major systems - the axial skeleton (skull, vertebrae and ribs), and the appendicular skeleton(pectoral and pelvic girdles, and limb bones). There are distinctions made between these two skeletal systems on the grounds of history, function, and development.
