Popis: The final article of this four-part series explores the appendicular skeleton. The term 'appendicular skeleton' derives from the Latin word appendic--to hang on. The appendicular skeleton consists of the four limbs and the pectoral (shoulder) and pelvic girdles, which connect them to the axial skeleton (see part 3 of this series; Docherty, 2007). It has a total of 126 bones.
