Solution:

The appendicular skeleton is composed of the bones of the pectoral girdle (arms, forearms, hand), upper limbs, lower limbs and the pelvic. The pectoral girdle bones consist of the clavicle and scapula to provide attachment for muscles that move shoulders and upper limbs. The clavicles are slender S-shaped bones and are classified as long bones. The other three are parts of the axial skeleton.
