REASONS FOR DIFFERENCEIN NUMBERS • Ayurveda has counted nails, nail bed, teeth, sockets and cartilages as separate bones, the modern anatomy has not counted them among the bones • Ayurveda has counted phalanges as 30 in number, ribs as 72 in number whereas according to modern anatomy not • Ayurveda has counted the arches, facets, bodies and transverse processes of the vertebrae, ribs, costal cartilage, segments of sternum as separate bones while they are parts of the vertebrae, ribs and sternum • In the fetal stage and after birth, many bones are in the process of ossification (many fragments joining together and forming a complete bone, bone remodeling). At these stages, a single bone appears to be in 2-3 fragments. Probably Ayurveda has counted the bones at the stage of ossification rather after their complete formation and maturity
