'The Human Skeleton' by Olivia



The human skeleton has 206 bones. We are actually born with about 350 but many join together as a child grows up. Each hand has 26 bones in it and so does the foot. The longest bone in our bodies is the femur or thigh bone. The smallest bone is the stirrup bone inside the ear.


Your nose and ears are not made of bone they are made of cartilage which is flexible but not as hard as bone.
