As a result, an average adult skeleton consists of 206 bones. The number of bones varies according to the method used to derive the count.

Human positions refer to the different physical configurations that the human body can take. There are several synonyms that refer to human positioning, often used interchangeably, but having specific nuances of meaning. [1] Position is a general term for a configuration of the human body.

“When done properly, they teach us to drive our feet through the floor to hit hip extension, in order to find a 'stacked' position where shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, all in line.”
[1]: 410–417 For instance, when 5 valence electron pairs surround a central atom, they adopt a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry with two collinear axial positions and three equatorial positions. An electron pair in an axial position has three close equatorial neighbors only 90° away and a fourth much farther at 180°, while an ...
