Tendons connect muscles to bones. The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage. Speaking involves muscles (like those in the larynx and mouth) connected via tendons to bones in the axial skeleton (e.g., hyoid bone). Chewing uses muscles (masseter, temporalis etc.) connected by tendons to the mandible (part of the skull - axial skeleton). Nodding the head uses neck muscles connected by tendons to cervical vertebrae (axial skeleton). Arm - wrestling, typing, and walking involve the appendicular skeleton (limbs).
