The human body has 206 bones that fit together to make up a skeleton. This structure of bone helps provide support to the body by providing a frame for muscles and a casing for your internal organs, that are very fragile. Skeleton - Know about your body from inside.

A new-born baby has more than 300 bones in its body. This is
because they have to be flexible enough to bend when they are
born. After that many of these smaller bones fuse together to
form the 206 that we all have. The largest bone in your body
is the femur or thigh bone and the smallest one is inside your
ear.

4. What is a skeleton?
Bones themselves are rigid and
therefore have ligaments and
tendons to join them all together.
Some bones like the hand and leg
muscles serve mostly as support to
muscles whereas your skull and
ribcage protect vital organs from
being damaged. Since our skeleton
is inside our body, it is known as an
endoskeleton.
However,
some
animals and insects carry their
skeletons on their body. This is
called an exoskeleton.
