Why Would Bones Not Fuse Right Away?
● We are still growing!!● Allows for your organs, muscles,
nerves, arteries and veins to have room to migrate to their final destinations
Bones that take a while to fuse/ossify:● When do all 28(ish) bones of the skull fuse together?
○ Between ages 13-18!
● What about the sacrum?○ Between ages 25-30!
● The humerus?○ Around age 20!
● Don’t tell me the pelvis, too!?○ As late as age 25
