it connects the free Upper limbs to the axial skeleton and it consists of posterior element which called the scapula and anterior element which called the clavicle.
        2-Pelvic girdle:-
it connects the free lower limbs to the axial skeleton  and consists of three Bones:-

 A-Pubic      B-Ischium      C- Ilium, they Unit to form the hip bone

        3-Bones of the Upper limb:-  
each side consists of:-
 
1-Humerus: in the Arm                                               2-Radius and Ulna: in the Forearm
