Detailed explanation-1: -Babies have about 300 bones while adults have only 206. This reduction happens due to fusion of some bones.
Detailed explanation-2: -Slowly, as you grew older, everything became a bit bigger, including your bones. A baby’s body has about 300 bones at birth. These eventually fuse (grow together) to form the 206 bones that adults have.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is because babies have more cartilage than bone. New born babies have around 305 bones. A baby’s skeleton is mostly made up of cartilage.As a person grows up, most of this cartilage turns into bone in a process called ossification.By adulthood, the skeleton has just 206 bones.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is the same number of bones as an adult but they are still growing and maturing. Human babies are born with close to 300 bones, most of them made of softer cartilage. As children age, some of those bones fuse together and harden into a finished skeleton of 206 bones.
Detailed explanation-5: -There are three hundred bones in children. That changes as they reach adulthood.
