Newborn babies are born with approximately 270 to 300 bones.
As they grow, many of these bones fuse together — especially in the skull and spine — resulting in 206 bones in the average adult skeleton.
Example: The bones in the skull start as multiple pieces to allow flexibility during birth and growth.
Ossification (bone fusion) occurs gradually throughout childhood and adolescence.
