Appendicular Skeleton Mind Map Basics
The appendicular skeleton mind map organizes the bones that form the limbs and the structures that attach them to the axial skeleton. It divides into the pectoral and pelvic girdles, the upper limb and the lower limb. Each region contains groups of long, short and flat bones that are easiest to learn when linked on one diagram.
- Pectoral girdle: clavicle and scapula attach the upper limb
- Upper limb: humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges
- Pelvic girdle: hip bones formed from ilium, ischium and pubis
- Lower limb: femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals
- Foot and hand landmarks: useful for identifying bones on a specimen
Use the map to revise by covering branches and recalling each bone from memory. Create a personalized version from your own notes with CogniGuide to match your course.
Appendicular Skeleton Questions
Answers on the bones of the limbs and on making your own map.
Which bones make up the appendicular skeleton?
It includes the pectoral girdle, the pelvic girdle, the bones of the upper limbs and the bones of the lower limbs. It excludes the skull, vertebral column and rib cage, which form the axial skeleton.
How many bones are in the appendicular skeleton?
The adult appendicular skeleton contains 126 bones. Counts can vary slightly with sesamoid bones, so check the count your course uses.
Which file types can I use to build my own map?
You can upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text or Markdown files, or an image of your notes. You can also just type the topic.
Is it free to make a skeleton map, and can it become a quiz?
The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed. Once the map is built, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself.
