 Human skeleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The human skeleton is made of individual or joined bones (such as the skull), supported and supplemented by a structure of ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage and other organs.
On average, an adult human has 206 bones (according to Gray's Anatomy, but the number can vary slightly from individual to individual), but a baby is born with approximately 270.
Bone cancer and bone tumors are extremely serious and are sometimes treated by radical surgery such as amputation of the affected limb.
