All About Bones 🦴 Bones are more than just a spooky Halloween decoration, they're the foundation of our body! Let's dive into the various types of bones and discover their unique roles.

Our bones are like a diverse community, each with a different look and role based on where they are and what they do.

Four Major Types of Bones 🌟
