How long does it take for the bones to completely fuse together to 206?

There are epiphyseal plates located in various regions of the skeleton. These plates divide the bones into segments but eventually fuse together in a specific order. The bones that fuse (in order of fusion) are those of the: Elbow, Hip, Ankle, Knee, Wrist, Shoulder (there is, of course, some variation in sequence). The proper osteological term for each of these skeletal regions should be easy to find. But the epiphysial plates are contained within bones their ossification is no the same as the fusion of two bones together. This occust in places like the skull and explains the sutures as well as the pelvis.

basicly yes!ANS2:As the skeleton matures the growth plates at the ends of long bones fuse and sessamoidal bones, such as the patella, form. On the whole, more bones fuse than do new bones form so an adult skeleton has fewer bones than an infant's skeleton.
