Your body is like a construction team! When you break a bone, your body sends in special workers called cells to fix it. First, they make a hard cast around the broken part so it can heal. Then, new bone tissue grows over time until the bone is strong again.
Examples
- If your leg breaks, it's like a tree trunk that splits, your body builds new wood to mend the break.
- A broken wrist is like a shattered cookie, your cells work together to piece it back together with a soft, gooey filling first.
- When you fall and break your arm, imagine tiny workers in your body building a temporary bridge until the real one is fixed.
