The main differences between adult and child skeletons are size and proportion. In children, bones are smaller and less dense, with growth plates at the ends of long bones that allow for growth. Adults have fully fused bones and a greater degree of ossification throughout the skeleton. Children also have more bones than adults due to fusion of certain bones as they grow.
