How many bones are there in a human body?
831275
The human body contains 206 bones!\n\nThe 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 12 and 14, 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.

There are lots more than seven things that make up the human body. Here are just a few in percent form:\nBy Weight\n          Oxygen      65%\n          Carbon      18%\n          Hydrogen    10%\n          Nitrogen     3%\n          Calcium      1.5%\n          Phosphorous  1.0%\n          Potassium    0.35%\n          Sulfur       0.25%\n          Sodium       0.15%\n          Chlorine     0.15%\n          Magnesium    0.05%\n          Iron         0.0004%\n          Iodine       0.00004%

The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the body. It consists of the skull, the vertebral column, the ribs and the sternum or breastbone.  There are 80 bones total in the axial skeleton, and I'm sorry but I'm not going to type them all out for you.  I will, however, provide you with some links so that you can see what they are if you need to know all 80.  They have great diagrams.\n\nhttp://webschoolsolutions.com/patts/systems/skeleton.htm#axial\nhttp://www.botany.uwc.ac.za/sci_ed/grade10/manphys/axial.htm

The bones in the body together form a skeletal system of that body and all the bones not dismantled is the skeleton.

strangely we are born with about 300 bones but they fuse together as we grow, eventually we end up with 206 apx.

The skeletal system of an organism is what gives it structure and form, and holds internal organs.

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.\n\nThe number of bones per area:\nSkull (22) \nChest (25)\nVertebral column (26)  \nFeet (52) \nHands (54)\n\nSo the hands have the most bones.

We are born with as many as 214 bones, but as we grow older the number of our bones may reduce to as few as 206.

275 bones at birth, 206 as an adult.  I found this out by going to www.ask.com & typing in your question...

The ribs are thin, flat, curved bones that form a protective cage around the organs in the upper body. They are comprised 24 bones arranged in 12 pairs.
