| | SKELETON - LoveToKnow Article on SKELETON |
 | | The axial skeleton, from a strictly scientific point of view, should comprise a good deal of the skull as well as the spinal column, ribs and breast bone, but, as the skull (q.v.) is dealt with in a separate article, the three latter structures alone are dealt with here. | | | EmbryologyThe development of the appendicular skeleton takes place in the core of mesenchyme in the centre of each limb.i This substance first becomes changed into cartilage, except perhaps in the case of the clavicle, though there is at present some doubt as to how much of this hone is chondrified before ossification reaches it. | | | The sternum or breast bone is an elongated bone which inclines downward and forward in the front wall of the chest. |

| | These are also called the femur, tibia and tarsus respectively in an external view of a bird's anatomy. | | | The rigidity has been achieved by fusing groups of vertebrae, fusing the two collar bones to make what we call the 'wishbone' and by the addition of special lateral (sideways) growths on the ribs which rest against the next rib back and thus strengthening the whole ribcage. | | | The second problem is overcome by adding rigidity to the skeleton. |
