Human Body Riddles

I give you structure, and make you tall,

Without me, you'd be a floppy ball.

I protect your organs from harm,

And keep your body firm and warm.

• Skeleton

• Skin
• Muscles
• Lungs

I'm part of the female body, where eggs are made,

I help create life, but I'm not seen every day.

I work with a partner, but I'm not a twin,

What am I , where the journey begins?

• lungs

• muscles

• kidneys

• ovary

I'm your body's protective shield,

keeping you safe from harm.

I help you feel touch, temperature, and pain with great charm.

I can sweat to cool you down

and keep you from getting too hot.

What am I called? Give it a thought.

• heart

• bone
• muscle
• skin

With every step you make, I help you move,

I give you strength and allow you to groove.

Though you can't always see me at play,

I help you stretch, lift, and stay.

• Muscles
• ovary

I'm a stretchy bag inside your tummy,

I break down food, but I'm not very yummy.

I mix and churn to help you digest,

Turning your meal into something your body can use best.

• pancreas

• liver

• stomach

• intestine

I help you breathe in the air,

Without me, you'd gasp for every breath you'd share.

I take in oxygen and release the waste,

Without me you wouldn't keep pace.

• lungs
• liver
• kidneys
• heart

I beat without pause, strong and fast,

Pumping blood from the first to the last.

I'm the rhythm of life, the pulse you feel,

Without my beats, your body can't heal.

• lungs
• heart

I sit inside your head, controlling all you do.

I help you think, move, and even chew.

I send out signals, big and small,

I'm the boss of your body directing it all.
