The human body contains 206 bones. Each bone in your body is designed for a specific function. The longest and strongest bones in your body are the leg bones; the femur, or the thighbone, is the longest and strong enough to bear the gravitational pressure from the weight of your body. The shaft of the bone is shaped like a cylinder, which helps make it so strong. Without the strength of our leg muscles, we would not be able to run, walk, or even stand upright. This is also true for other animals like chimpanzees and orangutans, but what about fictional creatures such as King Kong?
