Summary
Have any skeletons in your closet? At least you’ve got one in your body! Without a skeleton, we wouldn't stand a chance—well, we wouldn't be able to stand at all. Many of our bones support our bodies as we get up and move around. Others protect our organs. Each bone in our skeleton plays a role in keeping our body running smoothly. Press "play" to learn all about how our skeleton works!
