Question

read the text.
you may think of the human skeleton as one big collection of bones (206 to be exact), but it actually consists of two parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. the axial skeleton is made up of the bones and cartilage of the head and torso, including the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage. it protects most of our vital organs, like the brain and heart, and supports the weight of our bodies. in contrast, the bones in our appendicular skeleton allow us to move. they include the bone and cartilage in our limbs, like the bones in our arms and feet.
which term matches the picture?

appendicular skeleton axial skeleton

Explanation:

The text states the axial skeleton includes bones of the head and torso (skull, vertebral column, rib cage). The picture's blue - colored bones match these (skull, spine, rib cage), while appendicular is for limbs. So the term matching the picture is axial skeleton.

Answer:

axial skeleton
