The human body deeper: bones, muscles and skin, sentence 0
Bones are not dead sticks like the skeleton in a classroom: they are alive, with blood vessels and cells that keep rebuilding them, which is why a broken arm in a cast slowly knits back together.
Who acts: Bones, blood vessels, broken arm · What happens: not be, be, keep, rebuild, break, knit back · To what, where: dead sticks, Bones
This is a sentence of the lesson «The human body deeper: bones, muscles and skin» of the biology course of Mova's primary school.
