1
00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:05,049
Five things you didn't know about the human skeleton.

2
00:00:07,049 --> 00:00:16,879
What is stronger, steel or human bones?

3
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:26,260
Scientists say that our bones are five times stronger than steel.

4
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:33,259
A piece of bone the size of a phone can withstand up to 9,000 kilos.

5
00:00:33,259 --> 00:00:43,399
and luckily they are because they protect all important organs in our body

6
00:00:43,399 --> 00:01:00,659
like the brain or heart what parts of the body have more bones out of the 206

7
00:01:00,659 --> 00:01:12,180
bones that an adult has 52 are found in the feet and 54 in the hands more than

8
00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:21,439
half of the bones we have are found in our hands and feet it seems unreal right

9
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:33,150
which is the longest bone of the body and the smallest the longest bone we

10
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:42,510
have is the femur which joins the pelvis with the knee the smallest bone of the

11
00:01:42,510 --> 00:01:48,109
body is the stirrup which is in the ear and measures between 2.5 and 3

12
00:01:48,109 --> 00:01:55,549
millimeters now that you see it do you understand why it's called the stirrup

13
00:01:55,549 --> 00:02:02,549
Of course! It's the same as the syrup we use to horse ride!

14
00:02:02,549 --> 00:02:14,699
Who has more bones in their neck? A person or a giraffe?

15
00:02:14,699 --> 00:02:23,699
You've all thought of the giraffe, didn't you? Well no! There's a draw!

16
00:02:23,699 --> 00:02:33,819
The long giraffe neck has seven bones, seven vertebrae, and exactly the same as a human neck.

17
00:02:38,699 --> 00:02:46,650
Who has more bones, a baby or an adult?

18
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:55,210
Well, the baby wins, having approximately 300 bones.

19
00:02:55,210 --> 00:03:00,620
Newborns have some split bones

20
00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:03,520
But over time, some of them are joint

21
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,840
Until they reach 206 that an adult skeleton has

22
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:17,120
The truth is that the human body is marvellous, don't you think?

23
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Goodbye friends, see you in the next happy learning video
