After a fetus has developed for three months, what is its skeleton made of? Muscle Bone Cartilage Tendon
CArtilage
Muscle and tendon are generally not considered to be part of the skeleton; therefore, the answers are narrowed down to either cartilage or bone. A timetable of the formation of bones in the human body can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone#Formation According to the Wikipedia articles, bones form where there is pre-existing connective tissue (cartilage), and bone formation begins during the third month of fetal development, but some bones don't form fully until after birth.
