Ones protect soft organs in the body

Bones support the body.

Our bones are joined together to form a skeleton.

To keep our bones healthy and strong we need to have lots of calcium.

We find calcium in foods like bread, milk and other foods made from milk like cheese.

There are 206 bones in the body and each one does a very specific job.

You don't have to know them all, only the major ones.

Remember that bones protect and support

The skull

The skull protects the brain

The ribs.

The ribs protect the heart and lungs and other vital organs of the body.

The spine (backbone)

The spine is not really one bone it is lots of little bones that work together to protect the spinal cord. The spinal cord runs from the brain to the base of your spine. The spinal cord is the nerve that sends all the messages to the brain.

The pelvis (hip bones)

The pelvis protects the womb (in females) and the legs join the upper body at the pelvis.

Femur (thigh bone)

This is the biggest bone in your body. This bone runs from your hip to your knee.
