Adults have 206 bones in their body. This number can vary slightly from person to person.
Babies have more cartilage in their bones, which gradually ossifies into bone as they grow. Babies also have more bones than adults due to the presence of fontanelles, or soft spots, in their skulls that eventually fuse together. Additionally, babies' bones are more flexible and pliable compared to the more rigid bones of adults.
Babies are born with around 270 bones, but as they grow, some bones fuse together. Examples of bones that babies have that adults do not include fontanelle bones in the skull, which eventually fuse to form the adult skull structure.
A small baby is typically born with around 270 bones. As the baby grows and develops, some of these bones fuse together, resulting in the average adult human having 206 bones.
Adult bones fuse together as part of the natural aging process, known as skeletal maturation. This fusion occurs as the bone growth plates, also called epiphyseal plates, close and ossify, usually in the late teens to mid-20s. Once this fusion is complete, the bones stop growing in length and become a single, solid structure.
