Believe it or not, there are 206 bones in the fully grown body. Bones are very
important along with muscles, tendons, and other body tissues we need to be
able to walk, run and play. Bones are also the key area where blood is made in
the body. Sometimes, when enough pressure is placed against one of the bones in
your body, it will break and hurt quite a lot. Don't worry because bones can
heal themselves if they are placed in a cast (which keeps the broken bones from
moving). It takes several weeks for a broken bone to heal and the length of
time to heal depends on which bone you break.

BITES -
A bite is when an insect or an animal either breaks
through or grabs your skin with their stinger or teeth. At the very least,
these bites are unpleasant and can hurt a lot depending on what bites you. If
it is an insect that bites you, scratching may lead to an infection. The best
thing to do is ask a grown-up to put ice on it to relieve the sting and
itching, and to use other lotions or remedies.
