释义 | bone (once / 99 pages) 1nadjv 2v A bone is a single section of a skeleton, made of very hard tissue. Adult human bodies have 206 bones. Your skeleton, which forms the structure of your body, is made up of many different bones, from the tiny bones in your fingers and toes to the largest bone, the femur, or thigh bone.
