Assessment: JAMB UTME - Biology - 1997 Subject: Biology

Question 1 Report

The appendicular skeleton is composed of the pectoral girdle
Answer Details
The statement is incorrect. The appendicular skeleton is composed of the bones of the limbs and the girdles that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton. The pectoral girdle, consisting of the scapula and clavicle, is part of the appendicular skeleton, but it only makes up a small portion of it. The rest of the appendicular skeleton includes the pelvic girdle and the bones of the forelimbs and hindlimbs. Therefore, the correct option is "pelvic girdle, fore and hind limbs."
