Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are typically around 270 bones in human infants, which fuse to become 206 to 213 bones in the human adult. The reason for the variability in the number of bones is because some humans may have a varying number of ribs, vertebrae, and digits.

Detailed explanation-2: -The adult human skeleton is made up of 206 bones. These include the bones of the skull, spine (vertebrae), ribs, arms and legs.

Detailed explanation-3: -An adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones in total. At the time of birth, there are 270 bones which fuse with time to come to a total of 206 bones. The total bones of our body can be divided into axial skeleton (80) and appendicular skeleton (126).

Detailed explanation-4: -The human skeleton is the internal framework of the 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. The bone mass in the skeleton reaches the maximum density around age 21.

Detailed explanation-5: -By the age of 25, humans have 206 bones. When they are born, they have around 300 bones. Human hands have 27 small, intricate bones, while feet have 26. The different bone types are long bones, short bones, flat bones and irregular bones.
