Professor Khanzada likes to have students draw vocabulary words while other students guess what they are drawing. When studying for an anatomy quiz, a student draws what appears to be a cage. What is the MOST logical guess for this vocabulary word based on the student’s design?

A cage-like drawing most strongly suggests the rib cage, which protects the organs in the thoracic cavity. The appendicular skeleton refers to the limbs and their attachments, the myocardium is heart muscle, and a saddle joint is a type of joint, none of which is typically represented by a cage.
