The Axial Skeleton is made up of these parts
Skull, Sternum, Ribs, Spinal Column
The increase in bone length
Appositional Growth (Epiphysial Plates allow for this)

Give the 5 functions of the Skeletal System
Support, Protection, Movement, Storage, Hematopoiesis (blood formation)
This is where the Thoracic Vertebrae is located
Chest/Ribs Area
Double UP!
These are the locations of both the Sacrum and the Coccyx
