Do we need bones to survive?

Question

I want to know if we need bones to survive. If we have muscles all over our body and I mean very strong muscles so that there is no requirement for bone support, do we still need bones? The special part of male human body has no bone but it works when in need right? So why can't we be comprised of such muschels all over and than we don't need bones. CraZy question I quess.

Assume that the body could produce enough blood to suppor all the body part. In this case is it possible?

Answer 1

Well, I take it you were talking about male genital. It takes large amount of blood to stiffen it. So If you have no bones on the arm, then the 1/2 of your blood may need to be in your arm in order to lift it. If that happens, a dead brain will occur soon after.

Answer 2

Bones not only give our bodies structural integrity, but it is in the bone marrow that blood is produced. Without those bones, we would in essence bleed to death from the inside.

We could replace our bones with adamantium rods, but nothing can take the place of the bone marrow.

As to the second part of the question. That particular body part has neither bone nor muscle, even though some affectionately refer to it as the "love muscle". It actually has what amounts to a collagen sponge that engorges with blood to become rigid. In fact, beginning in your late 30s you'll find it starts getting less and less rigid with each passing year.

Muscles alone can never be strong enough to support their own weight. Muscles are designed to contract. They can't expand, except when pulled by the contraction of a muscle anchored to the other side of the bone. To illustrate, think about a torn ACL. No matter how strong the athlete, his muscle just came off the bone and became useless.

Answer 3

with out bones the body would have no structure for vital elements like the nervous system in the spine and bone marrow
you would not be alive with out bones
and a lot of organs are anchored and protected by bones ,including th muscles .they are a vital part of the body.

Answer 4

Of course we need bones to survive!
It is in the bones that the R.B.C.s and the W.B.Cs are produced i.e. in the bone marrow.
Also it plays important role in fat metabolism and Ca++ ions metabolism!
Moreover, muscles require a support that is bone for attachment and leverage, only then can they function properly....so, bones are very important!!!

Answer 5

the bones are the structure of our bodies. Muscles are nothing if they have no base to work off of. I know you say what if our muscles are strong enough, but it doens't work that way. we need them to protect our lungs and brain and give our bodies structure.

Answer 6

Yes,crazy question indeed.
