Why do we have bones?

Bones! We’ve got lots of them. Leg bones, arm bones, face bones, even ear bones! But…not all animals even have bones inside their bodies. So what are our skeletons for? Why do we have them? We asked pediatrician Dr. Emma Gerstenzang to help us find the answer. Got a topic you’d like to bone up on ? Send us a question at BrainsOn.org/contact , and we’ll paTELLa you the answer.
