FUN FACT!Your thigh bone is stronger than concrete. FUN FACT! The strongest bone in your body is the femur (thighbone), and it's hollow! FUN FACT! Enamel is hardest substance in the human body. FUN FACT! The smallest bone in the human body is the stapes or stirrup bone located in the middle ear. It is approximately .11 inches (.28 cm) long. We may owe all our hearing to this little bone shaped like a stirrup, because it transmits sound vibrations through our hearing system! FUN FACT! There are about 206 bones in a grown-ups body. But more than half of them are located just in our hands and feet!

FUN FACT! We have somewhere around 300 to 350 bones that we are born with. As we grow up, the number reduces to 206. Well, they dont go anywhere, except that sometime around the age between 12 and 14, some of our smaller bones, fuse into larger, big and stronger bones! FUN FACT! Apart from having more bones, another interesting baby fact is that they dont have kneecaps! Well, actually they do but their kneecaps have not yet turned into hard bones, and are still soft cartilage, that gradually hardens into bones. This process is called ossification. FUN FACT! By the age of 20, the average young person has acquired roughly 98% of his/her skeletal mass. FUN FACT! Our ribs move about 5 million times a year, every time we breathe!
FUN FACT! Did you know that humans and giraffes have the same number of bones in their necks i.e. 8 as humans do? Giraffe neck vertebrae are just much, much longer!
