There are an equal amount of bones in the bodies of males and females, including the number of ribs. A human adult has 206 bones in the skeleton. These include the vertebrae in the spine, the ribs, the arms, and the legs.
Bones support our bodies structurally, protect our soft tissues and organs and serve as a reservoir for the body’s calcium and phosphate circulation.
Male and female bodies have different bone mass, density, structure, and length. Male bones are thicker and more robust, whereas female bones are softer and have wider pelvic cavities to support childbearing.
