Do men and women have the same number of bones?

Normal adult men and women have the same number of bones, and there is no such gender as more or less bones. Only babies have more bones than adults, and the number of normal adults is 206.

Bones can play an important role in our human body. Imagine that if our human body has no bone support, then we only have muscles, nerves and various organs. The whole human body can't walk upright, just like a snail. The existence of bones is still of great significance. For example, skulls can protect our brains. After the child is born, in this transitional stage to adults, the skull is constantly hardening and the fontanel is slowly closing. At the same time, fontanelle can also be used as a standard for children's growth and development. The skull is hard, which can resist some external forces and reduce the damage to our brain. The brain is the headquarters of our body, and the most important part is the brain.

Compared with adults, babies have relatively more bones. In the process of growth and development, some bones will fuse together. After adulthood, the number of bones will almost be shaped. Under normal physiological conditions, there will be no shortage or increase. Under some pathological conditions, the quantity and nature of bones may change.

In fact, the number of bones of men and women is the same, and the size and nature of each person's bones are different. For example, some men have smaller pelvis than women, larger pelvis and smaller bones, which is beneficial to the delivery of the fetus. Generally speaking, men's bones are longer, such as the femur is longer than that of women, which is reflected in their height.
