Directions Click, read and learn! Look and study the slides, the information, and the pictures. Learn about everything the bones do and why we have them. Be ready to answer questions! Do not worry if you get them wrong. Part of learning is making mistakes. So just go back and try again. Click on the screen and read. When you see an arrow, like the one in this corner, Click it, you are ready to go to the next slide. Why Bone Marrow is Important The Bone marrow at the center of the bone and makes blood cells for the bodyBlood vessels run through the center of the bone so that the bone receives food, oxygen and minerals (minerals keep you healthy!)It makes red blood cells (needed to transport oxygen throughout the body) These red blood cells supply oxygen to our soft tissues, and white blood cells to fight germs or disease. They also gives us energy by storing and releases fat. The Spine

Your spine is one part of the skeleton that's easy to check out: Reach around to the center of your back and you'll feel its bumps under your fingers. That is your spine! The spine lets you twist and bend, and it holds your body upright. It also protects the spinal cord, a large bundle of nerves that sends information from your brain to the rest of your body. The spine is special because it isn't made of one or even two bones: It's made of 26 bones in all! These bones are called vertebrae (say: ver-tuh-bray)

Every bone is important in your body but there are some that play a very important part in keeping you alive like the spine, ribs and skullThe SkullKnock on your head. Feel hard? Touch beneath your eyes, you can feel the ridge of the bone that forms the hole where your eye sits.That is part of your skull. All the bones in your head/ face are called the skullThe skull protects the most important part of your body, your brain! The skull is actually made up of different bones. Some of these bones protect your brain, whereas others make up the structure of your face.

Go back to the QuestionThe Ribs Run your fingers along the side of your body. Feel the bumps? Those are your ribs! Your ribs act like a cage around your chest. Because of this cage, they keep your lungs, heart and liver safeYour ribs come in pairs, and the left and right sides of each pair are exactly the sameYou have 12 pairs of ribs
