[Avodah] How many bones in the human body?

[Marty Bluke]

The Gemara in  bechoros 45 says that the human body has 248 bones and that
women have 4 additional bones, 252 in total. The modern consensus is that
an adult has 206 bones the same number for men and women.

What explanations are given to resolve these discrepancies besides nishtane
hateva?
