Understand the components of the axial skeleton: The axial skeleton consists of the bones along the central axis of the body. This includes the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.
Identify the components listed in the problem: The options given are pectoral girdle, auditory ossicles, vertebral column, hyoid bone, and skull.
Determine which components are part of the axial skeleton: The skull, vertebral column, and hyoid bone are part of the axial skeleton. The auditory ossicles, though located in the skull, are also considered part of the axial skeleton.
Identify the component that is not part of the axial skeleton: The pectoral girdle, which includes the clavicles and scapulae, is part of the appendicular skeleton, not the axial skeleton.
Conclude that the pectoral girdle is the correct answer as it is not part of the axial skeleton.
