The skeletal system is one of the main parts of our bodies. The
skeletal system is so important because it’s the reason why some are able to
move so freely. The reason why we could stand run, walk everything you take for
granted every day.
There are 206 bones in the adult body, while there are close
to around 300 bones in a baby. According to The children’s healthcare of Atlanta
website it explains The reason why babies have so many bone is because They "have more flexible cartilage in the body and As the child grows, some of the cartilage hardens and turns to bone, and some bones fuse together."
The Article also states that children's bones don't stop growing until there late teen or even in there early 20s.Theres are pros and cons to this.The pro to bones still growing till your late teens is for example is if you were to break a bone it could realign itself over time
A con to this is if a break occurs in the growth region at the end of a bone, also called the growth plate, or physis, it may affect normal growth and cause significant deformity of the limb
Inclusion you should take care of yourself your bones will think you for it.
