Axial Skeleton

The part of the skeleton along its central axis, it includes the skull, spine, and ribs

Real World Example

Imagine trying to assemble a tent without its central pole and frame; everything collapses without structure and support. Similarly, the axial skeleton acts as the central pole and frame of our body, providing the necessary support and protection for vital organs. Just as the tent's integrity relies on its central structure, our body's stability and function depend on the axial skeleton, composed of the skull, spine, and ribs, which together form the core framework supporting everything else.
