Verified step by step guidance

Understand that the adult human skeleton is composed of bones that provide structure, protection, and support for the body, as well as serving as attachment points for muscles.

Recall that during infancy, humans have approximately 270 bones. However, as a person grows, some of these bones fuse together, reducing the total number of bones in adulthood.

Learn that the typical number of bones in an adult human skeleton is 206. This includes bones in the axial skeleton (skull, vertebral column, and rib cage) and the appendicular skeleton (limbs and girdles).

Compare the given options (180, 300, 256, and 206) and identify that 206 is the correct number of bones in the adult human skeleton.

Conclude that the correct answer is 206, based on anatomical knowledge of the adult human skeleton.
