Without your skeleton, you would just be a puddle of skin and stuff on the floor. Not a pretty sight! Your skeleton also protects your most important insides, like your heart, lungs, and brain.| Skull--a built-in helmet for your brain 4 spinal column--backbone, made up of vertebrae 5 ribs--surround your heart and lungs 6 sternum--connects some of your ribs in front 7 pelvis--protects digestive and reproductive organs 8 humerus, ulna, and radius--arm bones Paragraphs 9 to 20: For the complete story with questions: click here for printable Copyright © 2009 edHelper |
