The
bone in your head is called your skull or cranium and is used to protect your brain.
Your
backbone,
also known as your
spine
keeps you upright and protects your spinal cord. This is your
most important bone.
It
is made up of 33 bones called vertebrae.
These
are separated from each other by tiny pads of gristle called
cartilage.
The
collar bones and shoulder blades act as attachments for muscles
at the front and back of your chest.
 
Twelve
pairs of ribs
protect your heart and lungs.
Your
pelvis is
a thick ring of bone which encloses and protects some of the
parts of your lower abdomen.
