Bones are certainly alive! They have blood vessels which supply nutrients and nerves which signal pain. The body of a new born baby has about 300 bones, but the average adult only has 206 bones. Want to know why this new born baby has a lot more bones then an adult? Because as the child grows, some bones fuse together, and that what makes the count of the bones less.
