The human body is amazing!

In some ways, all human bodies are very similar,

especially on the inside. Each one has a heart and brain, bones and guts, muscles and joints,
and arms and legs and skin. However, each body has its own appearance, size and shape,
facial features and hairstyles.
Human have 206 bones in their bodies, each of our ears has 6 tiny bones. Without
bones, the body would be as floppy as a jellyfish. The bones support our body and hold us up.
Some bones, such as the skull, protect other parts of our body. Bones have a hard outer layer
and soft marrow in the middle. Blood cells are also produced inside bones.
Without joints, almost the only parts of your body that could move would be your
tongue and eyebrows. Joints between bones allow the skeleton to bend. Each person has more
than 150 joints. The body has different types of joints, to allow different amounts of
movement. The hip and shoulder joints are examples of ball and socket joints. The knee and
elbow are hinge joints.
Skin may feel smooth, but its surface is made of millions of tiny flakes which are far
too small to see. Skin helps the body to keep at the right temperature. If you become too hot,
you sweat to lose extra heat. Skin also gives us our sense of touch. When we touch
something, nerves in the lower layer of skin send messages to the brain to tell us how
something feels, this is how we feel heat, cold, movement, and pain.
Our bodies do lots of different things. They allow us to move, grow, touch, see, smell,
taste and hear. We have different systems in our body which make us breathe, circulate blood
around our body, digest food and feel the world around. Our brains enable us to learn, work
out problems, remember, feel happy and sad, and have ideas and dreams and wonder. Most of
all – our body systems allow us to live.
