Skeleton refers to a structure that consists of the bones of our body.

A normal human body has 206 bones. However, during childbirth or when a child is small, the number is much greater than 206.

As a child grows up, smaller bones fuse together to form a mighty bone. The femur or the thigh bone is supposed to be the longest bone of the human body. On the other hand, the ear ossicles are the smallest.

They include malleus, incus, and stapes. Bones are extremely hard in nature and are one of the strongest parts of the body. So get up all you lazy bones, put aside your plate of spare ribs and enjoy these skeleton pun lists and broken bone puns!
