| Pathway for food | mouth > esophagus > stomach > small intestine > large intestine > anus |
| Bone | a living tissue made from bone cells (ostocytes) surrounded by materials |
| Functions | -Support and movement of body -Protects internal organs -Maintain calcium balance |
| Types of blood | RBC's (Red blood cells) WBC's (White blood cells) Platelets : help blood not to clot |
| How many bones are you born with? | 300 |

| Ligaments | Connect bones to bones |

| Joint | where two bones meet and muscles often attach |
