Fun Bone Facts

  • Bony Babies: A person has more than 300 bones at birth and only 206 bones as an adult. Over time, small bones fuse together. 
  • First Aid: When broken or fractured a bone can actually repair itself. Casts help bones grow in the right direction.
  • Boning Up: Over a period of about seven years, each bone in our body is slowly replaced until it is a new bone.
  • Head Case: The bones in the skull fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Sutured joints help to form a hard case that protects the brain and other sensory organs.
  • Busy Bones: Every second, our bone marrow produces two million red blood cells.

    Skulls and Skeletons

    Skulls and Skeletons

    by Danielle Denega

    It's a gruesome fact, but it's true: Bodies don't last long after they're dead. In murder cases and plane crashes, earthquakes and fires, police want to know: Who did the bones belong to? Was the victim male or female? Young or old? Tall or short? How did he or she die? Forensic anthropologists have the answers.
