Skeletons

Jokes that will tickle your funny boneWhen does a skeleton laugh? When something tickles his funny bone.Why didn't the skeleton dance at the

Halloween party? It had no body to dance with.What instrument do skeletons play? Trom-BONEHow did the skeleton know it was going to

rain ? He could feel it in his bones

There are many layers that make up a bone Some things that make up bones are yellow

and red bone marrow, sponge bone and hard bone

All the things that make up bones give us support and without them, we would collapse

What Bones are made of

Joints and Ligaments

Ligaments are a fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones

A joint is the location at which two or more bones connect

Ligaments are similar to fasciae and are made up of collagen

Joints are constructed to allow movement

Major BonesFemur is one of the major bones - it is the

long bone in your legSkull is another major bone – it is the bone

that protects your brainThe humorous bone is also one of the major

bones - it is the bone in your elbow and forearm

How The Skeletal System Works With Other SystemsWe help protect the body's vital organsThe skin and the muscular system depend on

the skeletal system to keep them in placeThe skeletal system makes sure all the

systems are in contact

The H.B.C Must Keep UsWithout us, all the systems would end up in

the wrong placeWithout us, you won’t be able to move You need us or you will collapse and you will

just be skin and guts
