MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

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: -There are 206 bones in the human skeleton. This doesn’t include teeth or small bones found within tendons called sesamoid bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -The axial skeleton, comprising the spine, chest and head, contains 80 bones. The appendicular skeleton, comprising the arms and legs, including the shoulder and pelvic girdles, contains 126 bones, bringing the total for the entire skeleton to 206 bones.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
