The number of bones changes with age, as multiple ossific nuclei joined by synchondroses fuse into fewer mature bones, a process which typically reaches completion in the 3rd decade of life. The 206 bones of the skeleton provide a framework & points of attachment for many of the soft tissues of the body.
