A full adult human skeleton typically has 206 bones, and most of these bones have at least one epiphysis. In total, there are approximately 360 epiphyses in the adult skeleton, considering that long bones have two epiphyses each (one at each end) and some irregular bones have additional epiphyses. However, the exact number can vary slightly due to individual anatomical differences.

How can a skeleton give clues to a person age?
A skeleton can give clues to a person's age by examining features such as growth plates in bones (epiphyses) to determine if a person is still growing, as well as assessing bone density and degeneration to estimate age post-growth. This assessment is typically done by a forensic anthropologist based on established age estimation methods.
Are bones also known skeleton?

Compact bone is the main bone tissue found in epiphyses of long bones?
Compact bone is primarily located in the diaphysis of long bones, providing strength and support. The epiphyses, on the other hand, are mainly composed of spongy bone, which contains red marrow and is designed for weight distribution and shock absorption. While compact bone does exist in the outer layer of the epiphyses, it is not the main tissue found there. Thus, spongy bone plays a more significant role in the structure of the epiphyses.
