From providing the frame that allows us to stand, walk and run, to its vital role in the production of critical blood cells, you will learn about a key aspect of our biology in both an engaging and interactive way.
Watch the presentations, examine the 3D models, see the blood cells, the different bones and how they work together with muscles and tendons to literally move us around. Can you name all the bones? See inside the bones to where blood cells are produced in quantities that will blow your mind!
