A fully developed adult has 206 bones in their skeleton.
Explanation:
A fully developed adult has 206 bones in their body. You're second question is a little strange because there are no bones in the body that are not included in the skeletal system. However, you may be thinking of the two divisions of the skeletal system: the axial and the appendicular systems. The axial skeleton contains 80 bones and the appendicular skeleton contains 126 bones.
