The longest bone in the human body is the femur, located in the upper leg. It can be up to one fourth of a person's height. Birds do not have true skeletons, instead they have a structure made up of bones and cartilage called a 'missionary skeleton'. The human skeleton can be divided into two parts: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.
