From Head to Toe, 7



Head to Toe:
Boning Up on the Bones of the Body

Skull (f): cranial bone 4: ethmoid bone

The ethmoid bone—behind the nose—
Protects the brain that lies behind.
The brain is fragile (each one knows)—
And so we need a bony kind

Of wall to keep us just a bit more safe
From hits and bumps and accidents
And wingèd things that just might strafe
Our fragile face and skull’s contents.
