X rays are of a much higher energy than visible light, so they have more penetrating power. So they can easily penetrate tissue, but they penetrate bones less well, and most metals almost not at all.

At birth humans have 300 bones as you mature you end up with 206 explain?
It isn't quite 300 but it is more, this is due to the fact that some bones in babies (mainly the skull) are not fused from birth, it takes time for the parts to fuse together, that is why, when you see a skull there are lines all over them that look similar to fractures.
Can light travel through matter?
Yes! Light travels through any material that does not completely absorb it. Visible light can only travel through materials that are called either transparent or translucent. Visible light travels through glass all the time. Visible light also travels through your cornea and the gel-like material that is in your eyeball. There are other types of light than visible light, such as ultraviolet (UV). UV is light that has more energy than visible light. This is the type of light that can give you a sunburn. There are even more energetic types of light like X-rays. They go through lots of material that visible light can't -- like skin and organs, but they do not go through bones or teeth very well.
