Absolutly, well sorta, all tissues of the body need oxygen to survive. but what most people think of as bones are just the hard calcium and mineral structure that is left behind when we perish. however inner area's of the bone called marrow need oxygen to make blood cells. their are also cells in bone called osteoblasts which constantly build bone and osteoclasts which constantly break down bone these cells in a nutshell keep the bones in good repair. to do their job they need oxygen. do the minerals that make bones hard and durable need oxygen? nope. dose everything else in bones need it ? absolutly
