The 13 pages that link to Axial skeleton, each with the reason it gives.

• VertebrateRelated: Its regional pattern supports the trunk while allowing movement.

• Vertebral columnNarrower topic: The vertebral column is the axial skeleton’s segmented central support.

• TetrapodRelated: Changes to the vertebral column and ribs helped support bodies against gravity on land.

• Undulatory locomotionRelated: Its flexibility and joints constrain how bending waves travel through the trunk.

• Fish anatomyBroader topic: Its flexion provides the framework for many swimming movements.

• Postcranial skeletonNarrower topic: It places the postcranial trunk within the skeleton’s central axis.

• TailNarrower topic: A vertebrate tail is an extension of the axial skeleton.

• Thunniform locomotionRelated: Its stiffness helps transmit muscular forces toward the tail.

• SacrumNarrower topic: The sacrum is the vertebral column’s pelvic foundation.

• Sauropod neckNarrower topic: The neck is one specialized section of the sauropod axial skeleton.

• Human skeletonBroader topic: This major division anchors the framework around the head and trunk.

• Body regionsRelated: Its central framework corresponds broadly to the head, neck, and trunk regions.

• Spinal columnNarrower topic: The spinal column is the axial skeleton’s central supporting structure.
