Skull
There are 29 bones altogether in the skull and jaw. They make a box to protect the brain, eyes and ears.
This is the collar bone, and joins the sternum (part of the chest) to the shoulder. They support the arms and transmit force from arms into the central skeleton.
It is made up of 24 individual small bones (called vertebrae). Your spine supports your head and body. Each of the bones are linked by small joints which can move a little. Lots of small movements add up and let your spine bend a lot.
This is also known as the shoulder blade. It is a flat triangular bone that lies over the back of upper ribs. Helps with the movement of the arm and shoulder.
These bones are both in your lower leg. The tibia is the thicker shin bone, and the fibula is the slimmer bone. They both hold the lower leg muscles in place. Doesn’t give much support/ strength to the leg.
