The average person may not have any knowledge about their bodies beyond basic schooling, as such, one may wander about parts of their bodies as he or she drudges through their daily routines. One thought that has most likely crossed every person’s mind at one point or another would have to be the question, “Are my bones considered to be alive or dead?” The most logical conclusion that a person would be most inclined to believe is that no, their bones are indeed able to be considered dead. In spite of that line of thought, this is merely a myth perpetuated by those whom only know of the skeletal system as the one that supports our body. However, evidence shows that a human’s, as well as every other vertebrate’s skeletal system is very much alive.
