Skeleton in a Closet

Facts and History of the Human Skeleton


Hi our names are Tina Pechanec and Kristiana Hooks. We go to Otis Bison Middle School in Bison, KS. Tina is 14 going on 15 and I am 14yrs. old. We are doing this skeleton project in order to educate people about the human skeletal system. The mascott of our school is a cougar which is an animal we love and cherish.



Below, you should see a picture of a skeleton. As you can see, Tina and I have been researching the human skeletal system. Here are some very cool and important facts that you might find interesting.

Did you know that when you were first born, you had 300 bones in your body? You lose these bones once you finally grow into adulthood.The skeletal system also supports other parts in your body. The bones work together to communicate with other muscles and organs in your body.Your bones are joined together at the joints to allow you to move. All I can say is I didn't know half this stuff until I researched a little bit.



OK Now Here Is A List Of Some Of The Important Bones In Your Body That You Use And Function With Every Day.

  1. Cranium:Your head
  2. Pelvis: Hip bone
  3. Phlangies: Your finger and toe bones
  4. Knee cap: hard bone near your knee


    As you can see skeletons in our body have many uses and many functions. If we didn't have this skeleton in our body we would probably wouldn't be typing right now. On the page that is linked to this one, Tina has created a page about more of the human skeleton
