What do they do?

Bones are made of active, living cells that are busy growing, repairing themselves, and communicating with other parts of the body. Lets take a closer look at what your bones do and how they do it. The skeleton of an adult human is made up of 206 bones of many different shapes and sizes.

It will help us organize our thoughts. Adult's body has 206 bones. 106 are located in the feet, ankles, wrists, and hands. Let's form a ratio that we can later simplify. As you can see, we have 106 bones that are located in the feet, ankles, wrists, and hands over the total amount of bones in the adult's body.
