The human skeleton consists of 206 bones. We
are actually born with more bones (about 300),
but many fuse together as a child grows up.
These bones support your body and allow you to
move. Bones contain a lot of calcium (an
element found in milk, broccoli, and other
foods). Bones manufacture blood cells and store
important minerals.
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

which consists of many bones), hinged joints
(such as in the fingers and toes), and ball-and-socket joints (such as the shoulders and hips).
Differences in males and females: Males and females have slightly different skeletons,
including a different elbow angle. Males have slightly thicker and longer legs and arms;
females have a wider pelvis and a larger space within the pelvis, through which babies travel
when they are born.
