At birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood rolls around, some of our bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in our body!
Here is the breakdown:
The adult skeleton consists of 206 bones . . .
- 28 skull bones (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones);
- the horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck;
- 26 vertebrae (7 cervical or neck, 12 thorax, 5 lumbar or loins, the sacrum which is five fused vertebrae, and the coccyx, our vestigial tail, which is four fused vertebrae);
- 24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone; the shoulder girdle (2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bone in the body, and 2 scapulae);
- the pelvic girdle (2 fused bones);
- 30 bones in our arms and legs (a total of 120);
- There are also a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to joints.

Well...nothing is born inside of a human body...being born is the process of expelling a baby...but it can range from 1-8 or so depending on how many fertility drugs a woman has been pumped with.
