The bones in your body make up your skeleton. You have 206 bones. Bones give your body shape and support. They keep the soft parts inside you safe.

你身体里的骨头组成了你的骨骼。 你的身上一共有206块骨头。 骨头决定了你的身形，还能支撑你的身体。 它们能保护你体内的软组织不受伤害。

Bones come in many shapes and sizes. Your arms and legs are long bones. Your pelvis and shoulder blades are flat bones. The bones in your wrists, hands, ankles, and feet are small.

骨头的形状和大小多种多样。 你的胳膊和腿上的都是长骨头。 你的骨盆和肩胛骨属于扁骨。 你的手腕、手掌、脚踝和脚里的骨头都很小巧。

This is what your skeleton looks like. Look at the many kinds of bones in your body.

这就是人类骨骼的样子哦。 看看你身体里这么多种不同的骨头吧。

Other animals have skeletons too. Each animal's skeleton is different. Some are short, some are tall, some are light, and some are strong.

其他动物也有骨骼哦。 每种动物的骨骼都不一样。 有的短，有的长，有的很轻，有的十分结实。
