Do you know about the human skeleton? 💀

Sleep Tight Media / Starglow Media
About this episode

In this episode, we'll learn all about the human skeleton—the framework of 206 bones that give our body shape, support us and help us move. We'll explore how the skull, rib cage, and spine protect our most important organs and how our bones change as we grow. You'll also find out how the skeleton is divided into the axial and appendicular skeletons, each playing a key role in helping us move and stay safe. Finally, we'll learn why skeletons are used as symbols for Halloween, bringing some spooky fun into the holiday.

Sleep Tight!, 

Sheryl & Clark
