Why do bodies need bones?

Answer 1

Without bones you would not be able to have control of your body, without bones you would be all floppy. Also for support so that you can keep your shape and for organ protection, e.g your ribs protect your lungs and heart.

Answer 2

Bones provide structure and support to the body, allowing us to stand, move, and protect vital organs. They also serve as storage for minerals like calcium and act as a site for blood cell production in the bone marrow. Additionally, bones play a role in regulating mineral levels in the body and contribute to overall health and well-being.

Bones are light weight, very strong, porous, (Unless you have diseases like rickets, osteomalacia or osteoporosis. ) and each of them is architectural marvel, designed to perform specific functions. And they are dynamic also. Means they may change there strength, according to the required function.
