Question
What would have happened if our backbone was made of one single bone?
Advertisements
Solution
The human backbone is made up of 24 smaller bones that are joined end to end. This structure helps us to bend our back or turn ourselves in other directions. If the backbone was made up of a single bone then we would not have been able to bend or turn our back.
