Best Answer

Bones fit together with the help of joints. There are lots of different joints such as the hinge, ball and socket, pivot, fixed and gliding.

If we didn't have bones we would be like clothes without a hanger. The main bone which keeps you up is your spine, this bone supports the body - without it you would not be able to sit upright, walk or even look up. If you break your back you usually become paralyzed.
