Our body is made up of many things. The most important parts of Human
body are bones and muscles. The bones are the hard part of human body.
The muscles are the soft part of human body. Bones and muscles are
covered by skin all over the body.

Skeleton Skeleton

The human skeleton is the internal framework of the
body. It consists of 206 bones. These bones give shape
and support to our body, and allow us to move. Bones
contain a lot of calcium. If there are no bones, we cannot
stand straight. The bones are hard and strong. The point
where two bones meet is known as a joint. We can bend

and fold our hands and legs
because of joints. The bones in
our body are covered with
muscles. They are soft and help
us to move our bones. Our body
has more than 600 muscles.
