The adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones grouped as the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.

The appendicular division consists of the bones of the upper and lower extremities (limbs), plus the bones called girdles, which connect the extremities to the axial skeleton. There are 80 bones in the axial division and 126in the appendicular. Listed below are the divisions of the skeletal system. Total number of bones in the axial skeleton.
