Our body is the most complex of the creations in this world.If we analyze our body consists so millions of cells and many tissues.Our body is standing erect due to the bones.An average adult may have 206 bones while an infant may have upto 350 bones.Isnt that ironic.

why where are my bones gone are they stolen by my doctor during inspection how could my bones disappear while i have my 32 teeth. is that bones of body are changing into teeth and i cant feel. infant has no teeth and as he grows so do teeth grow so whe he is young he has 28 teeth and as he grows then he has 32 teeth. i this way does it prove that bones of our infant body is changing to teeth. is that so.

according to literature adults have 206 bones while infants may have 210 and above. the reason why is some bones of an infant is not yet fused.

Hi ruletheworld! Yes! I certainly agree with you! And that's pretty amazing. It's glad to know that we are a miracle. But unless I'm sitting for an exam I would be more than worried not to have known these facts as I am now. But I would rather be more concerned with how healthy my bones are. Thanks. You've done a good homework!Enjoy your stay here in myLot!

Oh yes, I love the number of bones we have. It is just so perfect. There's no need to add or deduct. It works well together, I am just amazed how God made us so perfectly. I love it but I dont love counting and memorizing them, specially in biology class. 206 bones are just difficulty to memorize. lol.
