There are many more bones in a baby's skeleton (300 or more) because several bones will fuse to others as the baby grows. The skull is one example. Other bones are still flexiblebecause bones slowly calcify and become rigid throughout a person's lifetime.

What is the name for the bony structure a human body?
This is called the skeletal system. It is composed of 206 bones in an adult.
What are ALL organs of the skeletal system?
The only organs in the skeletal system are the bones. Do you need a list of all of these 206 bones found in the adult human? See the link below for this list.
Does the skeletal system have more than 200 bones?
Yes, on average the average adult human body has around 206-208 bones
How does fetal circulation differ from the circulation pattern after birth?
In fetal circulation, the placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, so the lungs are not used for oxygen exchange - instead, a bypass called the ductus arteriosus shunts blood away from the lungs. After birth, the lungs take over oxygen exchange, the ductus arteriosus closes, and the foramen ovale between the atria closes, redirecting blood flow through the heart to support pulmonary circulation.
How does the ossa coxae compare in a fetal skeletal and adult skeletal?
The ossa coxae (containing the ililum, ishium, and pubic bones) are not fused in a fetal skeleton like in an adult human.
How many joints are in the skeletal system?
There are 206 bones in an adult human skeletal system. This counts some bones as separate that are directly joined (e.g. the skull) but not all. Individual humans may have slightly more or slightly fewer, even where there is no mutation (e.g. extra fingers or toes).
How many bones support the skeletal system?
The skeletal system of the human adult body is made up of 206 bones. Oddly, though, the human is born with 270 bones in the body. This includes the bones of the scull that are not yet fused together.
What are the different stages of life?
Embryo, newborn baby, toddler, child, adolescent, teenager, young adult, adult, elderly.
Does cloning yield better results on adult nuclei than embryo nuclei?
no
How would you list human development in the correct order?
