Why do children have 316 bones and adults have 206 bones?
It is not always 316, but children do have more bones than adults. As they grow, some of these bones fuse together, like around their brain, and so they have less bones. This allows them more flexibility when they are young and makes it easier for them to grow. The rate of growth of a human is much greater as a child than as an adult.

Why are your bones alive?
Bones are living because they are always growing. Even though bones eventually stop growing vertically, they are always changing in width. Osteoblasts are bone cells that build new bone and they are always producing new layers of bone so keep bones strong. There are also bone cells called osteoclasts that destroy bone and recycle the materials that make up bone tissue. Osteoclasts work to counteract the activity of the osteoblasts so that bones do not become too heavy. They also break down bone when the body is in need of calcium and other nutrients found in bone tissue.
