Question

What 7 bones of the body are not connected to the skeletal system?

Answer 1

Hyoid bone-- 1, Malleus--2, Incus--2, Stapes--2.

Explanation:

There are 3 pairs of small bones in the middle ear cavity. Three bones in each side, i. e. 6 bones. These bones are called Malleus, Incus and Stapes.

The position of the middle ear bones are shown in following diagram, here we can see these bones are not directly connected to the skeletal system.

There is a bone in neck region, called Hyoid bone, which is not directly connected to the skeletal system.

The one bone in neck (Hyoid) and 6 bones in two ears (Malleus, Incus and Stapes) make seven bones, which are not connected to the skeletal system.
