Accepted Answer

206 bones. The human skeleton is the internal framework of the human body. It is composed of around 270 bones at birth – this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together which make up about 15 percent of their body weight. These bones can be grouped in two divisions; axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton. The 80 bones of the axial skeleton form the vertical axis of the body. They include the bones of the head, vertebral column, ribs and breastbone or sternum. The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones and includes the free appendages and their attachments to the axial skeleton. Bones work with muscles and joints to hold our body together and support freedom of movement. The distribution of 206 bones in human body is as follows:- Cranial – 22 Auditory – 6 Hyoid – 1 Thorax- 51 Arm – 64 Leg - 62
