Research Notes |
|
| “Before I did the research for this book, I never truly appreciated how much we rely on muscles and bones. Without muscles, we couldn’t stand up, sit down, eat, breathe, poop, or pee. And if we didn’t have skeleton, we’d be nothing more than a puddle of blood and guts. I also uncovered some great information about the muscles and bones of other animals. For example, a caterpillar uses more than 4,000 muscles to crawl across a leaf, and who knew that animals could use their tongues in so many amazing ways!” |
