What if you had no bones

Your skull femur and rib cage are now gone along with the rest of your skeleton. Welcome to your body without bones this essential part of your Anatomy is suddenly gone poof what happens now, how would losing your bones make you incredibly sick, why would you lose all your teeth and how long would you last as a boneless blob. This is what if and here is what would happen if you had no bones so why are your bones so important. Well your skeletal system is made up of tendons ligaments and cartilage and it is not just a sturdy structure that keeps you standing straight your bones produce blood cells fats and minerals that support your entire body. Now we are going to take all these essential bones out of you from your skull to your toes for debt keeping your feet on the ground you are now a human jellyfish and you will last very long you do not have to become a shapeless blob to know that life can sometimes feel unstable. Mental health challenges can seriously distress you and prevent you from achieving your goals it could be anxiety or depression or maybe you're just a human going through a hard time, but just as your skeletal system provides you with structure and support well therapy can equip you with the tools to navigate these challenges. Now you can just watch what if videos in bed all day guilt free and don't panic just take a deep breath but not too deep because you don't have a rib cage and without a rib cage your lungs won't be able to expand not having bones means you'd need to be hooked up to a ventilator, now you're way more susceptible to infections because your Airways are always open this would let all sorts of germs in a common cold could quickly become pneumonia but pneumonia would be the least of your worries that's because without your bones you don't have any bone marrow so why is this such a big deal well because your bone marrow is the main part of the body that produces your white and red blood cells and without new blood cells your immune system will be weaker you'll be susceptible to diseases at least you could try to enjoy a meal without any bones ,no scratch that you wouldn't have any teeth your teeth aren't bones but they're anchored in your Jawbone and without a Jawbone nothing would be holding your teeth in place you wouldn't be able to chew and you'd need to be fed through a feeding tube so there aren't many positives when it comes to a life without bones you could avoid bone related diseases and you wouldn't have to worry about breaking any of your bones, but that's about it the worst part is you wouldn't last very long without the structure and with no bone marrow to produce blood cells your survival would be measured in minutes to a few hours.
