The appendicular skeleton is really important for how we move around. It helps us do a lot of different activities. Here’s what it includes:

1. Limbs: This means our arms and legs. They have big bones like:

   • Humerus (the bone in your upper arm)
   • Femur (the long bone in your thigh)

2. Pelvic and Shoulder Girdles: These are groups of bones that connect our limbs to the center part of our body. They help us in different ways:

   • The pelvic girdle keeps our lower body steady when we move.
   • The shoulder girdle helps our arms move freely in many directions.

All these parts work together to help us walk, run, and grab things. This shows just how important the appendicular skeleton is for living an active life!
