Dem bones…
What’s the smallest bone in the human body?
Answers is a great way to satisfy your curiosity on all topics, no matter what they are. I came across a couple of questions on the topic of BONES and thought I’d share them with you.
I suppose our bones aren’t something we really think about a lot, unless we happen to break one of them – ouch! It is interesting to know what we are born with 300 bones and once we’re fully grown we only have around 200. Many users want to know where those other bones get to! Others wonder how it is that our bones don’t stretch or bend, yet they still manage to gradually get bigger over time.
Keeping your bones healthy and strong is integral as you get older – and the best way to do so is by watching what you eat and exercising. There are some easy ways to make sure you don’t end up with osteoporosis or similar bone disorders later in life.
From huge dinosaur bones to tiny bird skeletons, there are plenty of bone related questions if you search for them on Answers. One user had an unusual dream that she was in the bath washing her own bones – the community had several different perspectives on what the interpretation of that was!
