The story

Quarky climbs through your skeleton to see how strong, living bones hold you up and protect you.

What you'll learn

  • Your skeleton has 206 bones that hold you up and give you shape.
  • Bones are alive and can heal themselves when they break.
  • The skull protects your brain and the ribs protect your heart and lungs.
  • Milk and exercise help keep your bones strong.
