What body part have the most bones?

The skull has the most bones in the human body. Most people believe that by adding up the hand and feet bones, you can come up with the most bones in the human body. This is an incorrect answer.

The hands have the most bones -- 27 in each hand. The hands and feet together make up more than half the bones in the human body. There are 206 bones in the human body; 106 of these are in the hands and feet (27 in each hand and 26 in each foot).


Which bones in the body support most of the body's weight?

The bones in the lower body, such as the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone), support most of the body's weight. These bones are larger and stronger to bear the load and provide stability during activities like walking, running, and standing.


What is the most important bone in human body?

It depends on what you mean by "important". All bones are important as they provide structural support. The eight bones in your wrist, while it seems like a lot, provides the flexibility that allows you to rotate your wrist. Same with the seven tarsal bones in the ankle. The femur is the longest bone in your body (typically). The pelvis holds the intestines and must distribute the upper body weight. Obviously the other bones in your body are just as important; the cranium houses your brain, the spine protects your delicate nervous system, etc.


How many bones are in the adult human body?

The adult human body has 206 bones. An infant may have from 300-350 bones at birth. Many of these fuse together as the infant grows. When some bones fuse and become one bone (most obvious examples are in the skull, sacrum and hip bones) the number of overall bones drops to the 206 bones that most adults have.Of the 206 bones in the adult human body, more than half (106) are in the hands and feet. The adult skeleton consists of the following bones:28 skull bones (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones)The horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck which is the only bone that does not articulate (connect via a joint) to another bone26 vertebrae (7 cervical or neck; 12 thoracic; 5 lumbar or loins; the sacrum, which is five fused vertebrae; and the coccyx, which is four fused vertebrae)24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone; the shoulder girdle (2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bones in the body, and 2 scapulae)the pelvic bones (3 fused bones called the coxal bone, or Os Coxae)30 bones in each of the arms and legs (a total of 120)a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to jointsThere are individual variations: for example, some people are born with an extra rib or lumbar vertebra and not everyone has Inca (sutural) bones.
