SKELETON
Some of us have a few extra ribs, others have sesamoid bones. In total, most adult human skeletons consist of 206 bones. Most other mammals also have bones, sometimes in another shape or form. Without a skeleton, we’d fall apart and our organs would get damaged. Are 35 years old or older? Then your bones have officially stopped growing. Still going through puberty? Then your bones are only getting thicker, not longer.
