My Skeleton
My skeleton is the framework for all my body. It is like the strong boards that make a framework for a house.My skeleton is made up of bones. My bones are hard and they do not weigh very much. When I was a baby, my bones were soft.Now, as I am getting older, my bones are getting harder and harder. My bones grow as I grow. I have 206 bones! My bones give my body its shape. If I did not have my bones, I would bend like rubber!My ribs are the bones that cover my heart and lungs and protect them.My skeleton does many things for me.
My Heart
My heart is a strong pump that moves blood through my body. It hangs in the center of my chest and is about the size of my fist.My heart works all the time, even when I am sleeping. It pumps blood that is full of oxygen and food through tubes called arteries.This fresh blood travels to all my cells and feeds them. My cells give the blood carbon dioxide and other things they can’t use.
