SkeletonThe internal framework of bones in the body that supports and protects organs. – The human skeleton helps us stand upright and protects our vital organs like the heart and lungs.

BonesHard, rigid structures that make up the skeleton and provide support and protection to the body. – Our bones are strong and help us move by working with our muscles.

SkullThe bony structure that forms the head and protects the brain. – The skull is important because it keeps our brain safe from injury.

RibsThe curved bones that form the rib cage and protect the chest organs like the heart and lungs. – When we breathe, our ribs move to help our lungs expand and contract.

SternumThe flat bone located in the center of the chest, connecting the rib bones. – The sternum is also known as the breastbone and helps protect the heart.

FemurThe longest and strongest bone in the body, located in the thigh. – The femur supports our weight when we stand and walk.

TibiaThe larger and stronger of the two bones in the lower leg, also known as the shinbone. – The tibia helps support the body’s weight and is important for walking and running.

RadiusOne of the two bones in the forearm, located on the thumb side. – The radius allows us to rotate our forearm and move our wrist.

MandibleThe lower jawbone, which is the largest and strongest bone in the face. – The mandible helps us chew food and talk by moving up and down.

VertebralRelating to the vertebrae, which are the small bones that form the spine. – The vertebral column, or spine, protects the spinal cord and supports the body.
