Skeletal+System

== =The Skeletal System!=

There are 206 bones in the human body. Bones help us in 3 main ways: support for our body, protection of important organs, and movement with the help of our muscles. The bone marrow inside our bones make blood for our bodies.

We looked at x-rays so we could get a glimpse of real bones! Zack points to his tarsels.
