Axial Skeleton (80 bones):

- Skull (29 bones)

-- Cranium (8): Frontal bone, Occipital bone, 2 Parietal bones, 2 Temporal bones, Sphenoid bone, Ethmoid bone

-- Facial bones (14): Nasal bones (2), Maxillae (2), Zygomatic bones (2), Palatine bones (2), Lacrimal bones (2), Mandible, Vomer

-- Ear Ossicles (6): Malleus, Incus, Stapes (2 on each side)

- Vertebral Column (33 bones)

-- Cervical vertebrae (7): C1 (Atlas), C2 (Axis), C3-C7

-- Thoracic vertebrae (12): T1-T12

-- Lumbar vertebrae (5): L1-L5

- Sternum (1 bone)

-- Manubrium

-- Body (Corpus sterni)

-- Xiphoid process

Appendicular Skeleton (126 bones):

- Pectoral Girdle (4 bones)

-- Clavicle (2)

-- Scapula (2)

- Upper Limb (30 bones)

-- Humerus (2)

-- Ulna (2)

-- Radius (2)

-- Carpals (8): Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate

-- Metacarpals (10): 5 on each hand

-- Phalanges (10): 2 on the thumb, 3 on each finger

- Pelvic Girdle (2 bones)

-- Pelvis (Hip) bones (2)

-- Each pelvis bone is composed of: Ilium, Ischium, Pubis

- Lower Limb (30 bones)

-- Femur (2)

-- Patella (2)

-- Tibia (2)

-- Fibula (2)

-- Tarsals (7): Calcaneus, Talus, Cuboid, Navicular, 3 Cuneiforms

-- Metatarsals (10): 5 on each foot

-- Phalanges (10): 2 on the big toe, 3 on each other toe

Sesamoid Bones (small extra bones in tendons and muscles):

- Patella (Kneecap)

- Pisiform (Wrist)

The number of bones in the human body may vary slightly due to individual variations and congenital anomalies.
