Solution

The bone that is part of the axial skeleton is the rib.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The human skeleton is divided into two main parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.

  2. The axial skeleton consists of the bones in the head and trunk of the human body. It includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage (ribs and sternum).

  3. The rib is part of the thoracic cage, which is part of the axial skeleton.

  4. The clavicle (collarbone), radius (one of the two bones in the forearm), and coxal bones (hip bones) are all part of the appendicular skeleton, not the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton includes the bones in the limbs of the human body.
