It may seem there’s nothing exciting about human bones. They’re hidden under multiple layers of cells and tissues, they're dense, hard, and unassuming. But are they? Your bones not only protect your internal organs and help you move but also store fat and minerals! Your blood cells are produced there! Most of the bone tissue isn’t even solid! How about going on a journey through your bones to see it with your own eyes? An adult's skeleton's made up of 206 bones, and each of them has its own function. Interestingly, people are born with nearly twice as many bones. But as you grow up, these small bones fuse together and form larger ones as a person matures. If one bone's broken, those around it can't work properly either. The smallest bone in your body is dozens of times smaller than a penny. This bone's called the stapes and is located in your middle ear. The tiny thing weighs as much as two sesame seeds. Interested? Then check out these fascinating facts about the human body you might never have guessed! #brightside Preview photo credit: Stapes, human ear: By Welleschik, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=6671975
