State
The axial skeleton forms a vertebrate's central axis, comprising the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, and primarily protects the brain, spinal cord, and thoracic organs.
Show
The rib cage encloses the heart and lungs while the vertebral column encases the spinal cord along its length.
Watch for
The axial skeleton carries no limbs — those attach through a separate division.
