The adult human body has approximately 206 bones. The skeleton has three main functions:
1.Support the human body. Without bones the body would be a blob, like a rag doll!
2.Protect organs. The skull protects the brain while the ribs protect the heart, lungs, stomach and liver!
3.Makes blood cells. The middle of the long bones contains bone marrow. This is where red blood cells are produced by the body!
The smallest bone in the human body is in the inner ear. It is called the STIRRUP.
The largest is the FEMUR, or thigh bone. The femur is also the strongest bone in the body. It is found in the upper portion of leg, above the knee
