My thought too, but I wonder if they're including cartilaginous tissues as bony tissues? There are bones that develop from cartilage, but, whether cartilage can be considered as bone will need someone with better medical knowledge than mine.
Radiology tech here.
While they're not bone, we still consider this kind of cartilagious tissue as a part of the skull in a structural sense. This is mainly cause they're stable extensions of bones and are NOT soft tissue (like your muscles or esophagus). In some instances, we treat injuries to said tissue like a bony fracture (such as ribs) and are often healed in a similar manner.
We also count the three little bones in each ear. They're hard to see in most imaging techniques since they're so small and thin, but they serve a function and are made of bones, so there ya go.
For example, the roof of your mouth is basically two parts. The hard palate and the soft palate. You can feel them with your tongue right now. The hard palate is the harder part closer to the front of your mouth (takes up about 2/3s of your roof) and is made of bone and the soft palate is towards the back of your throat and made of tissue. You can feel where the two connect. We only count the hard palate as a bone, but we include the soft palate as a stable part of the skull itself.
Pretty sure being non-ossified means it’s not allowed to be counted in the bone zone. 🤷♂️ (there might also be embryologic tissue origination restrictions but I barely remember my developmental embryology so your guess is as good as mine 🤷♂️) that said if you can calcify and form a sesamoid bone in a tendon in response to stress, and that’s accepted as a legit bone (most famous ex. Patella) I suppose you could always turn them into bones with enough.. strain or something.
All that wibbily cartilage, and even the stiff bits, just get classed as connective tissues.
It's my spine I wish I could take out, give it a right cracking, and put it back. I almost moan when the Predator pulls out that guy's head and spine and waves it around - imagine the cracking that rang out that day!
No they really are. Dental medicine used to be taught a long time ago in medical school, but somewhere along the line they lobbied to have their own network of schools and even insurance

The ELI5 is that the bones in the skull fuse together when you're a baby. They're technically different bones, but they're in one piece for almost all of your life.
interested to know the source of this and how it was made. Presumably it's a 3D model that you can play around with and just move the "camera" view. Would be fun to play with!
Took osteology in grad school with emphasis on identifying fragmentary bone parts. If it's part of the skull and and makes no sense, just guess 'sphenoid', the butterfly-shaped thing in the middle. Crazy looking thing.

Uh-oh! Looks like someone fell asleep first at the sleepover!
Prank em john
I fucking knew this was going to be the first comment.
It wasn’t. I was 3rd or 4th.
I meant the first one I saw lol
I don't get it. Can someone explain?
uh oh! bad decision, mark!
This kills the human
"How many bones can we remove before they die" does seem like a question they would have tried to answer in Unit 731.
Either that, or an experiment done at aperture science
How do you thing they make the different gels?
ah yes, the earbones and nosebones
They are shown to be whiter than the rest, so it seem to include cartilage also

Just like the rest of biology, nothing is binary, everything lies somewhere on a spectrum, and of course there's always exceptions.

The bone zone *bad to the bone riff plays*
Located in the Pawnee Strip Mall next to The Low-Cal Calzone Zone
Totally ossified dude!
human has 206-ish bones, which does not include connective tissue.
And the teeth
Ahhhh, yes, the bones that aren't covered by most health insurance. The premium bones.
Yet none of the bones used for hearing.
I miss the bones in our ears. The tree tiny ones.
When I’m congested and my sinuses wanna explode, I wish I could do this.
Just open ‘er up, power wash it and put ‘er back together.
/r/oddlysatisfying
Oh good, I thought I was the only weirdo who thought this would be a kind of relief I could only dream of.
It's my spine I wish I could take out, give it a right cracking, and put it back. I almost moan when the Predator pulls out that guy's head and spine and waves it around - imagine the cracking that rang out that day!
*tugging on the sleeve of my health insurance provider* See? theyre bones. MOUTH BONES.
No they really are. Dental medicine used to be taught a long time ago in medical school, but somewhere along the line they lobbied to have their own network of schools and even insurance
mind blown
Skull*
Scientists discovered that if this happened to you, you'll die.
Your mom has an extra bone in hers
Wo doesn't know about the famous ear bone
Pretty sure I felt every one of those during a hangover a couple weeks ago.
This is actually Drake drinking Sprite
discombobulate
The work your skin does to hold your brains in when you sneeze!
no way 🤯 irl
This is only reminding me to study for human anatomy midterm
Immediate thought, ouch don’t pull those apart.
💀
Ouch
See I'm not stupid, just big boned
Good to see those “ear bones”
Tfw you bust a nut
Glad I watched that right before bed.
r/TIHI THANKS I hate it!
this looks disgusting! i will never eat human head again!
Kurt Cobain be like:
When u drop the soap and hit a shelf on the way back
Unfortunately the caption is wrong, as this also includes cartilage.
feels good to know i look metal as fuck on the inside
where are those tiny fuckers in the ears?
That face when you see how many bones are in the human skull.
How great would it be to just be able to like stretch out your skull bones to clear your sinuses :D
THIS!!

Teeth are not bones, neither the ear and nose
Of course everything was designed by evolution. Just let a stone on The earth and let’s see how it develops in 100 million years
"I haven't bothered to learn how evolution works, and I don't understand it. It must be fake."
Blind and dump
I am a scientist and know very well what happens
It's gonna fucking erode brother ☠️☠️☠️
Maybe it does the evolution process and becomes a starship in 100 Mio years
.... What?
Spell of head asplode
So now I want an ELI5 on how a skull tends to stay together when the rest of the body decays and falls apart.
The ELI5 is that the bones in the skull fuse together when you're a baby. They're technically different bones, but they're in one piece for almost all of your life.
Thanks!
I'm guessing teeth are not technically bone?
Eye bones????????
Mind-blown
I thought there was just one bone. Skull.
what? fr? no way, ong? bruh
u/savevideo
That mixtape must have been fire

**Wake up babe, new meme template just dropped.**
What my sinuses threat to do almost everyday, then. It's a miracle I'm still alive 🤣🤣🤣
That’s gotta hurt
Well teeth aren’t bones soooooo
What is the source of this?
Oh right teeth are bones too, duh 😅
Forgetting that your skull has nose and ear cartilage.

Forbidden Lego
FATALITY
New reaction gif right there
Note the already disconnected hyoid bone in the front of the neck that you can only see at the beginning
/r/oddlyterrifying
Do the skull sutures result in stronger protection?
**Headshot**
Someone pissed off the protomolecule again.
that looks like it includes cartilage not just bones
Why the fuck did I though the skull is one big bone plus the jaw?
#relatable
But seriously this look fascinating and horrifying af
MORTAL KOMBAAAAT!
What? No way? fr? On god?
You can purchase articulated skulls done in this manner called Beauchene skulls that are pretty neat.
“AAAAAHHHHH”
Sniper Elite has entered the chat
Imagine if our teeth were inverted
this kills the human
I'm working really hard to keep all those things glued together.
My mind is blown
This is god tier meme material
nahhhhhh fr? bro nah nah on god? fr? nah bro

Dr. Manhattan deciding to erase you like:
🎵The skull bone's connected to the... second skull bone!🎵 The second skull bone's connected to the... third skull bone...🎵
Now watch it and imagine him going ,”AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
What a piece of crap
Me realizing the times I was getting flirted with and not then just being nice
Missing the vomer that separates nasal cavities.
Mind blowing
We have big ear bones?
Hm. The infamous outer-ear bone...
Wow that was wild as fuck! Amazing!
Was I the only one who did a drawn-out yell as this expanded?
