It is you bony friend that supports your body. The skeleton works as a frame that gives shape to the whole body and without it the body is like shapeless jelly. Bones are essential for movement , and as you grow they grow with you.
Questions:
- What is a function of the human skeleton?
- Without a skeleton how would the body look like?
- Your arm bone would still be the same size now as you were 3 years old?
