About 206 bones are located in the human body.

An adult skeleton contains 206 bones and the skeleton of an infant contains 350. As a child grows, bones fuse (join) together to make longer bones.
The longest bone in our bodies is the femur (thigh bone). The smallest bone is the stirrup bone inside the ear. Each hand has 26 bones in it. Your nose and ears are not made of bone; they are made of cartilage, a flexible substance that is not as hard as bone.

Actually, there are 227 bones in the human body. Some of them fuse (as in the skull and pelvis) but they remain individual bones even while called collectively "calvarium" (skull) or pelvis.
If absolutely necessary, I can name all of them....!!!
For those who suggest that infants have more, the tiny parts which fuse are actually parts of the major bone itself, and not separate bones. many of the bones in a tiny infant haven't calcified, either, and aren't visible on x-ray. Examples of this are some of the tarsal bones in the foot and carpal bones in the wrist

206 for an adult. More for an infant until their bones fuse together.
I think the most bones (and the smallest!) are located in the ears.
