📌 The appendicular skeleton consists of two right and left thoracic limbs and two right and left pelvic limbs, whereas the axial skeleton consists of the head, laryngeal skeleton, thoracic cage, and rachis.
Axial skeleton forms the central framework, whereas appendicular skeleton forms the four limbs.
