Bones also provide concrete structure to our body and support our weight. If a human has no bones, he/she won't be able to walk, or even get their organs protected. A human without bones would be like a jell-o.
Muscles, being soft and fibrous like a rope, respond to electrical stimuli which is transmitted by the brain and provide . It allows you to lift various things with your arms through the biceps and triceps by working together with your bones such as radius, ulna, metacarpals and phalanges.

It is therefore essential that a human have both bones and muscles working together to ensure survival.
