Feel that hard, curved dome? That's your skull, and it's one of the busiest bones you own, because it wraps all the way around your brain like a helmet you never take off. Right now, hiding under your skin, you are carrying a whole skeleton with you everywhere you go.  \nThat skull is just the beginning of a bone collection that would make any Halloween decoration jealous. An adult human body has about 206 bones, from the tiny ones deep  \ninside your ear to the long thighbone that stretches from your hip to your knee. Here's a surprise: a newborn baby has closer to 300 bones! As the baby grows, some of those small bones slowly fuse, or join together, into bigger ones, which is why grown-ups end up with fewer.  \nThose 206 bones do a lot more than hold you upright. Think of your ribs as a curved cage that guards your heart and lungs, and your spine as a bendy tower of stacked bones protecting the nerves inside it. Without these bony shields, a simple bump could hurt the soft organs doing the important work of keeping you alive. Your skeleton is basically your body's suit of armor, built right in.  \nArmor might sound hard and dead, but here's the twist: your bones are alive. Deep inside them, living cells are always at work, which is how a broken bone can slowly heal itself back together in a few weeks. Bones even grow with you, getting longer and stronger as you go from a toddler to a teenager. Can you believe your skeleton is quietly rebuilding itself while you sleep?  \nTo keep that rebuilding crew happy, your bones need a mineral called calcium, which is why milk, cheese, and leafy greens help you grow strong. Running, jumping, and climbing matter too, because bones get sturdier the more you use them. So the next time you see a grinning skeleton hanging on a porch in October, remember it isn't just a spooky decoration. It's a map of the living, growing, self-repairing frame that carries you through every single day.  \nSkeletons: The Bones Inside You  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) According to the passage, about how many bones does an adult human body have?\u003Cbr>A.
