How is a human skeleton different from the skeleton of an insect?

A human skeleton is internal and made up of bones, providing structure and support to the body. Insects have an exoskeleton, which is a hard outer shell that covers their body for support and protection. Insects molt their exoskeleton to grow, while humans do not.


Does a baby have less bones than when it is a child?

No, a baby is born with around 270 bones, which eventually fuse together as they grow into adulthood to form the average adult skeleton of 206 bones. So, the number of bones actually decreases as a baby grows into a child.


What part of the tree is said to have a skeleton?

The "skeleton" of a tree is typically referred to as its woody structure, encompassing the trunk, branches, and roots. This rigid framework provides the tree with stability, enabling it to grow tall and withstand various environmental factors.


Do you get more bones as you grow older?

No, the number of bones in the human body remains the same as we grow older. A baby is born with about 270 bones, but many of these fuse together as the body matures, resulting in the adult skeleton of around 206 bones.


How does your skeleton compare to the steel frame work of a skyscraper?

The human skeleton provides structure and support for our bodies, much like a steel frame supports a skyscraper. Both are designed to withstand various stresses and forces, with the skeleton adapting and repairing itself similar to how engineers maintain and reinforce steel structures. However, the human skeleton is a living system that can grow and heal, while the steel frame of a skyscraper remains static.
