Q

what are the four functional roles of the axial skeleton?

A

1) supportive and protective framework for internal organs
2) skull houses special sensory organs
3) vertebral column and ribs provide extensive attachment for muscles moving in the head, neck, trunk, and limbs
4) thoracic cage performs movements during respiration
