An adult human skeleton consists of a [[1]] number of bones.

The human skeleton is the body's internal framework, consisting of bones, cartilage, and other connective tissues that provide structural support, protect internal organs, and allow for movement.

The adult human skeleton is made up of 206 bones. 

These include:  

1. The skull, spine, ribcage, and breastbone comprise the axial skeleton (sternum).
2. The bones of the limbs (arms and legs), the shoulders (scapula and clavicle), and the pelvis make up the appendicular skeleton.
