Appendicular Skeleton

The part of the skeleton that allows movement, like bones of the arms, legs, and hips

Real World Example

Imagine trying to move a heavy couch across the living room without any help. Just like how you need your arms and legs to lift, push, and maneuver the couch, the appendicular skeleton provides the framework that allows movement of our limbs and hips. In this analogy, your arms and legs are like the appendicular skeleton, working together to facilitate movement and perform tasks, just like how these bones enable us to move, reach, and walk.
