Skeleton
Looks like
Twenty-two bones — eight around the brain, fourteen making the face — locked together at jagged seams.
What it does
Armour for the brain and a frame for the eyes, nose and jaws.
Keeping it well
Helmets. In babies the soft spots close by about two years; awake time on the tummy prevents a flattened head.
