How would you describe the part of the skeleton that is just the limbs?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

This question asks to name the part of the skeleton that comprises the limbs. 
Option 1: 'Anatomical condition' is irrelevant to skeletal regions; it describes a state or position rather than a part of the skeleton, so this is incorrect.
Option 2: 'Axial skeleton' refers to the central axis of the skeleton, including the skull, spine, and rib cage, not the limbs, so this choice does not describe the limb bones.
Option 3: 'Appendicular skeleton' correctly designates the portion of the skeleton that includes the limbs (arms and legs) and their girdles (shoulder and pelvic girdles), distinguishing it from the axial skeleton.
Option 4: 'Leg bones' specifically denotes only the lower limb bones, which is a subset of the limbs and does not cover the entire limb musculature and girdles; while accurate for one part, it does not describe the whole limb-skeleton region.
Thus, considering the scope—comprising all limb bones and their supporting girdles—the term that accurately identifies this portion is the appendicular skeleton.
