how many bones make up the human skeleton
List of bones of the human skeleton The skeleton of an adult human consists of 206 bones. It is composed of 270 bones at birth, which decreases to 80 bones in the axial skeleton (28 in the skull and 52 in the torso) and 126 bones in the appendicular skeleton (32 × 2 in the upper extremities including both arms and 31 × 2 in the lower extremities including both legs). Many small and variable supernumerary bones, such as some sesamoid bones, are not included in this count.
Hand The human hand normally has five digits: four fingers plus one thumb.[3][4] In some languages, the human hand is said to have five fingers, including the thumb as one of the fingers.[3] It has 27 bones, not including the sesamoid bone, the number of which varies between people,[5] 14 of which are the phalanges (proximal, intermediate and distal) of the fingers and thumb. The metacarpal bones connect the fingers and the carpal bones of the wrist. Each human hand has five metacarpals[6] and eight carpal bones.
