How many bones are there in our body?

at birth we have 300-350 bones but they get fused and we are left with only 206 bones.. shortest - stapedius, ear bone and difficult to see it as its behind the ear curtain.. longest - femur, thigh bone..u can feel it in thigh

I would love to shed some light on facts about human bones. This really is an interesting topic. 1. Smallest bone is the Stapes bone (located in the ear) 2. There are 54 bones in the hands and wrists 3. The only bone fully grown at birth is in the ear 4. The face is made up of 14 bones 5. We are born with 300 bones while adults only have 206 bones. 6. In an adult body 14% of total weight is due to the bones 7. The thigh bone (femur) is stronger than concrete

true that there are 206 bones in the huan body. the longest bone is the thigh bone. it is called femur. and the shortest bone is Stirrup. it is aslo called stapes. it is 'U' shaped bone in the ear.

The longest bone in the body is the femur. I knew that answer already! It is the bone in your thigh. I had to look up the shortest bone. It was an easy search on the search engine. There are actually 3 bones that are the shortest. They are called ossicles. From what I found, they are near your ear. It is amazing how many different parts there are to our bodies! It is even more amazing that they all work so well together to get us through life everyday.
