Detailed explanation-1: -The body’s skeleton forms and grows to its adult size in a process called modeling. It then completely regenerates-or remodels-itself about every 10 years. Remodeling removes old pieces of bone and replaces them with new, fresh bone tissue.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The adult human skeleton is made up of 206 bones. These include the bones of the skull, spine (vertebrae), ribs, arms and legs. Bones are made of connective tissue reinforced with calcium and specialised bone cells.
