The human skeleton consists of two divisions: axial (80 bones) and appendicular (126 bones). Key details include 16 carpals in the hands, 14 tarsals in the feet, and unique bones such as the hyoid which does not connect to any other bone, and 6 auditory ossicles. Additionally, there are 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones making up the human skull structure.
