On average, an adult human has 206 bones (according to Gray's Anatomy, but the number can vary slightly from individual to individual), but a baby is born with approximately 270. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth. They leave pockets of cartilage to allow more growth. The sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine) consists of six bones which are separated at birth but fuse together into a solid structure in later years. Growing is usually completed between ages 12 and 14. This means that the bones have no pockets of cartilage left, so there is no material left to allow more growth.

In a single hand, there are 5 phalanges, and 5 meta phalanges. \n\nI hope this helps!

The human skeleton is made of individual or joined bones (such as the skull), supported and supplemented by a structure of ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage and other organs.\n\nThe skeleton is not unchanging; it changes composition over a lifespan. Early in gestation, a fetus has no hard skeleton; bones form gradually during nine months in the womb. At birth, all bones will have formed, but a newborn baby has more bones than an adult. On average, an adult human has 206 bones (according to Gray's Anatomy, but the number can vary slightly from individual to individual), but a baby is born with approximately 300 bones. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth, such as the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column. An infant is born with pockets of cartilage between particular bones to allow further growth. The sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine) consists of five bones which are separated at birth but fuse together into a solid structure in later years. Growing is usually completed between ages 13 and 18, at which point the bones have no pockets of cartilage left to allow more growth.\n\nNot all bones are interconnected directly. There are 6 bones, the auditory ossicles (three on each side), in the middle ear that articulate only with each other. Another bone, the hyoid bone in the neck, does not touch any other bones in the body, and is supported by muscles and ligaments; it serves as the point of attachment for the tongue.Also some of the ribs called the floating ribs only hang by muscle and are not attached to the spine.\n\nThe longest and heaviest bone in the body is the femur and the smallest is the stapes bone in the middle ear. In an adult, the skeleton comprises around 20% of the total body weight.\n\nBones of the Head\n\n    * frontal bone\n    * mandible\n    * maxilla\n    * occiptal bone\n    * parietal bone\n    * temporal bone\n    * zygomatic bone \n\nBones of the Neck and Chest\n\n    * acromion\n    * atlas\n    * cervical vertebra\n    * clavicle\n    * false rib\n    * floating rib\n    * scapula\n    * spine of scapula\n    * sternum\n    * thoracic vertebra\n    * vertibral column \n\nBones of the Abdomen\n\n    * coccyx\n    * ilium\n    * ischium\n    * lumbar vertebra\n    * sacrum\n    * vertibral column \n\nBones of the Arm\n\n    * carpus (carpals)\n    * epicondyle\n    * epitrochlea\n    * head of humerus\n    * humerus\n    * metacarpus (metacarpals)\n    * olecranon\n    * phalanx (phalanges)\n    * radius\n    * ulna \n\nBones of the Leg\n\n    * calcaneus\n    * condyle of femur\n    * femur\n    * fibula\n    * head of femur\n    * metatarsus (metatarsals)\n    * neck of femur\n    * patella\n    * phalanx (phalanges)\n    * talus\n    * tarsus (tarsals)\n    * tibia

Apart from production of red cells and oxygen & carbon dioxide balance, the bones are the organs where calcium and phosphorous are stored when  excess in the blood thereby maintaining homeostasis...

206, however if you break a bone, you temporarily have 207, but breaking your nose doesn't count, that is cartilage.

"There are 26 bones in the human foot (28 if you include the sesamoid bones at the base of the big toe). These are: the Talus, which connects to the tibia at the ankle; the Calcaneus, which forms the heel; the Navicular, Cuboid, and three Cuneiforms (Medial, Intermediate, and Lateral), which form the middle of the foot; the five Metatarsals, which radiate out to the toes; and 14 Phalanges (2-3-3-3-3), which form the toes."

The skeleton of an adult human is comprised of 206 bones. \n\nThe skeleton of an infant contains 350 (bones fuse together as you grow up)\n\nThis completely answers your question

At birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood arrives, some of the bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in an adult body.

in actual ther are 33 but 9 bones fuse to form two bones ie. sacral and coccyx. so 26 bones.\nin babies there are 33 and in adults 26
