An adult human body has 206 bones 🦴.
Key facts:
At birth: Babies have about 270 bones.
As they grow: Some bones fuse together, reducing the total to 206 bones in adults.
The bones are grouped into two main parts:
1. Axial skeleton (80 bones) – includes the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum.
2. Appendicular skeleton (126 bones) – includes the bones of the arms, legs, shoulders, and pelvis.
These bones support the body, protect organs, produce blood cells, and help with movement together with muscles and joints. 💪🦴
