A member asked:

What part of the body provides structure and rigidity?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The bones: Our bones, held together at joints and by ligaments create our structure and height. The cranium (head) is a complex group of bones that protects the brain and special organs (eyes and ears) with its rigid structure.
