Sushruta’s presentation on ''asthi sankhya'': Sushruta has presented the number of bones in the body on the basis of ''pratyaksha sharira'', and submitted that bones classified in five types (''kapal, ruchaka, taruna, valaya, nalaka''), and per him, these are 300 in number. Because teeth are considered ''ruchakasthi'' and cartilages are considered ''tarunasthi'', these are counted as bones [Su.Sa. Sharira Sthana 5/22], and thus total up to 300 in number. [Su. Sa. Sharira Sthana 5/17] On subdividing, these bones are 120 in the extremities (30 in each), 117 in the pelvis region, the sides, back and the chest,  and 63 in the region in and above the neck.
