Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the skeletal system's divisions. The human skeletal system is divided into two main parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. Additionally, there are specialized terms like the visceral skeleton and articular skeleton.

Step 2: Define the axial skeleton. The axial skeleton includes the bones that form the central axis of the body, such as the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum. It provides support and protection for the brain, spinal cord, and thoracic organs.

Step 3: Define the appendicular skeleton. The appendicular skeleton consists of the bones of the limbs and girdles (pectoral and pelvic girdles) that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton.

Step 4: Clarify the visceral skeleton. The visceral skeleton refers to bones that develop in soft tissues, such as the hyoid bone and ossicles of the ear, which are not part of the axial or appendicular skeleton.

Step 5: Identify the correct answer. Since the bones of the head (skull) and neck (vertebrae and hyoid bone) are part of the central axis, they belong to the axial skeleton. This matches the correct answer provided in the problem.
