[Skeletal System] FACTS:
- At birth, the human skeleton is made up of 275 different bones? As the body matures, bones
in the wrist and ankle fuse together, leaving only 206 bones in the adult body!
- The largest bone in the human body is the femur; the smallest bone is the
stirrup (found in the ear)!
- Although bones are hard on the outside they are made up of about 75% water on the inside.
- Adult human bones only account for 14% of body weight.
- Gardening is said to be one of the best exercises for maintaining healthy
bones.
- The "funny bone" is not a bone; it's the spot where the ulnar nerve touches the humerus.
