Sis forScales (fish)

Scales are small plates that grow out of the skin of fish and reptiles. They overlap, so if you run your hands down a fish or snake from its head to its tail it will feel smooth, and if you run your hand the other way it will feel rough.

Sis forShin

Your shins are at the front, bottom part of your leg between your knee and your foot. There is not much fat or muscle on your shins, so it hurts to get hit there and shins are usually very easy to bruise.

Sis forSkin

Your skin is the largest organ on your body. It covers you completely and protects your muscles and other organs. Your skin has glands on it that produce oil and sweat, and your skin has follicles in it that grow hairs.

Sis forSkull

Skulls are a bony structure that is found inside your head, and in the head of almost all animals. The top part of the skull is called the cranium and the bottom part is called the mandible. Your mandible is more commonly called your jaw, and is the part that moves up and down as you chew or open and close your mouth. The picture is of a fox's cranium.
