SKELETAL
Skeletal system is made up of bones. This system helps our bodies stand up. Bones also protect organs. For example, the skull protects our brain and spine protects our spinal cord.
Almost every bone in your body is made of the same materials.

 LOOK INSIDE THE BONE:


The spine is special because it is made of 26 bones that protect our spinal cord, a large bundle of nerves that sends information from your brain to the rest of your body.. These bones are called vertebrae and each one is shaped like a ring. There are different types of vertebrae in the spine and each does a different kind of job. The spine lets us  twist and bend, and it holds our body tall.
