Solution

At birth the human body has about 350 bones. As a child grows, some of his/her bones fuse together, reducing the total countable number of bones in his/her body. But by the time adulthood rolls around, it gradually reduces and the bones stop growing together at 25 years old. At this age, fully grown human body has reached its maximum size, with 206 bones. The number of bones at the age of 4- 12 of the kids, may vary for individuals according to the growth rate.
