The Body

Each one of us has a body! Not only do our bodies make us look the way we do, but they allow us to live in and explore the world around us! Our bodies are made of a head, limbs, and a torso. Inside our bodies, we have a muscular system and a skeletal system. Our muscles and skeleton give our body shape and the ability to move and stay upright. We can bend our limbs because they are connected by joints. Some of our bodies' most important joints are our ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows. We have to take care of our bodies so they are able to provide all the amazing functions they so naturally do. What are some ways you take care of your body?
