About List of bones of the human skeleton in brief
The human skeleton of an adult consists of around 206 to 210 bones. It is composed of 300 bones at birth, but later decreases to 80 bones. Many small accessory bones, such as some sesamoid bones, are not included in this count.
As a human ages, some of its bones fuse, a process which typically lasts until sometime within the third decade of life. The bones of the skull and face are counted as separate bones, despite being fused naturally.
