Amazing Bone Facts!

At birth the human skeleton is made up

of around 300 bones. By adulthood, some

bones have fused together so adults only

have 206 bones.

The longest bone in the human body is the thigh bone called the femur.

Over a period of about seven years each bone in

our body is slowly replaced until it is a new bone!The smallest bone found in the human body

is located in the ear. The staples (or

stirrup) bone is only 2.8 millimetres long.

A human has the same number of bones in its

neck as a giraffe; they both have seven bones

in their neck - the giraffe's neck bones are

just a bit longer!

Which fact do you find most interesting? Which fact is most surprising?

The skull is actually made up

of 22 sections of bone. The

only section of the skull that

can move is called the

mandible.

There is just one bone in the human body not

connected to any other bone. It's a horseshoe-

shaped bone called the hyoid and is below the chin.
