Your Skull
By Jennifer Kenny

¹     You can often feel bones through your skin. Feel your head. Doesn't it feel like a helmet or a hard hat? In a way, it is. This is your skull. Your skull is actually made of 29 bones.

²     Your skull actually starts out as individual bones. Then the skull fuses together as a baby grows.

³     Your cranium is the bowl-shaped top part of your skull. It protects the brain. It is made of eight smooth bones that fit together tightly. The bones are curved and thin.
