I WONDER - How Many Bones Are There In The Body?

The video explains that while adults have 206 bones, babies are born with 300 bones. These extra bones do not disappear but instead fuse together as the child grows. This fusion process helps in the development of a stronger skeleton. The unfused bones in babies provide flexibility and reduce the risk of fractures when they fall.
