How would your life be different if your backbone consists of just one long bone?

If your backbone were just one long bone, you would not be able to move side to side or bend of twist your back. Your back would be stiff. It would be difficult to sit down. You couldn't curl up under the covers on a cold morning. You couldn't do a jack knife high-dive. It would be impossible to slouch in your seat. Plus, each vertebrae acts as it's own little stretching tool. They all work together so that you can be more flexible. With just one bone, you would always be completely straight up like a robot. A flexible spine is what helps people (and animals) move around freely.

If you take your backbone out of your body what do you think will happen?

Your spinal cord will have no support and eventually you will die, also you won't be able to stand /sit up... If a backboned creature loses its backbone it will collapse in a shapeless mass, and would most likely die very quickly. It would collapse because the backbone, apart from supporting the body, is what a lot of other bones are connected to, and without them more than just the back would collapse. It would most likely die because many things are connected to the spinal column, such as the nervous system. Loss of this would lead to rapid death. Without losing the backbone, but with just it being injured, many people become paralysed - often totally - and can do nothing for themselves.
