The Skeletal System And The Muscular System
Skeletal System
Your body has a skeletal system that is made of bones. The Skeleton of a grown-up person has about 200 bones. the spine is the part of the skeleton that extends down the center of the back. It forms a strong framework that supports the body. The largest bone is the hip bone or pelvis. In fact it is made of six bones joined firmly together. The longest bone is the femur it is located in the thigh. It makes up almost one quarter of the body's total height. The smallest bone is the stirroup deep in the ear. It is hardly larger than a grain of rice. The ears and the nose do not have bones inside them. Your nose and ears are made up of cartilage. Cartilage is a strong, flexible material that forms parts of the body. Cartilage is not as stiff or hard as bone.
