The wrist bones are scientifically known as Carpals. These small round bones each have an individual name. They are small in order to allow maximum movement. The Heel bones are known as Tarsals. Unlike the Carpals the Tarsals are long and flat. This prevents range of motion but increases balance and support. Metacarpals are the bones of the hands. Similarly the bones of the foot are called Metatarsals. These bones are flexible and allow you to curl your hands and feet. Both your Fingers and your toes are scientifically known by the same name: Phalanges. |

The patella is commonly called the knee cap and helps protect the joint between the upper leg and the shin bones. The two shin bones are called the tibia and fibula. The tarsals are your ankle and heel bones The metatarsals are the bones of the feet, and yYour toes just like your fingers are phalanges. The structure of your arm is very similar to the structure of your leg. Can you name 3 similarities and 3 differences? Week #11: November 2 - November 6
The Upper arm bone is called the humerus and connects with the shoulder. It stretches halfway down your arm.

The metacarpals are your interior hand bones. Lastly comes our phalanges, also known as the finger bones. Week #10: October 26 - October 30
Cervical Vertebra are the first 7 vertebrae as you go down from your head. These are small vertebrae allowing for the most movement.
Thoracic Vertebrae are the vertebrae that are attached to the rib cage and make up the next 12 vertebrae. Lumbar Vertebrae make up the lower part of your back bone. these vertebrae are the largest vertebrae in the body because they have to support more weight that the others. You Sacrum and is attached to the pelvis and is part of your pelvic girdle, and The Coccyx is your tailbone. Week #9: October 19 - October 23

Your Scapula is a flat bone that is commonly called your shoulder blade. Your Clavicle is the cylindrical bone commonly known as your collar bone. Your Ribs and Sternum are fused together and create the Rib Cage. Your Pelvis is your hip bone. You can remember this because "Elvis Shook his Pelvis" Week #8: October 13 - October 16
Bones have a hard outer covering that is made up of tiny tubes. Nerves and blood vessels run through the tiny tubes of the outer layers.
Underneath the outer layer is a hard, strong layer of bone cells that is surrounded by deposits of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. The inner layer of bone is spongy with many air spaces. In the very center of the spongy bone layer is a tissue called Bone Marrow. Bone Marrow is where blood cells are made. Week #7: October 5 - October 9
Second the parts of the skeletal system is used to protect vital organs such as your spinal cord, lungs, heart, kidneys and brain.
The primary components of the skeletal system are Bones, Ligaments, Tendons and Cartilidge. Bones are the hard structures that make up your skeleton. Ligaments connect bones to other bones. Tendons connect muscles to bones, and Cartilidge is a cushioning material that exists between bones and can also be found in your ears and nose. |

Arteries carry the blood away from your heart, veins carry the blood back towards your heart. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body and connect arteries to veins.
Your Blood consists of Blood Cells and Blood Plasma. Blood Plasma is the liquid substance that blood is made of. Red blood cells transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the body.

The lungs are less like balloons and more like spongy tissue created by the alveoli. Week #3: September 8 - September 11
The right side of the heart fills with non oxygenated blood from the body. It then pumps to the lungs.
The left side of the heart receives oxygen rich blood from the lungs. The left ventricle pumps blood out through the Aorta, the largest artery in the body. The Aorta may be an Artery but it is also considered part of the heart. Week #2: August 31 - September 4
The Heart is the pump that pushes blood throughout the body.
The Lungs are your body's way of obtaining oxygen. Your lungs also help your body remove carbon dioxide. The Blood Vessels are your arteries and veins.
