Bones and Muscles

Bones and Muscles

Overview of the skeletal and muscular systems:

The skeletal system provides the framework for the body, supporting and protecting organs, and enabling movement.
The muscular system works alongside the skeletal system to facilitate movement through muscle contractions.

The skeleton (which includes bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage) and the attached muscles constitute the musculoskeletal system. It provides the body with basic structure, posture, and movement. In addition to their basic structural function, the largest bones in the body contain bone marrow, where blood cells are formed. All bones are important reservoirs of calcium and phosphorus. Muscles contract to help operate the respiratory system and maintain body temperature

Did you know that the skin of our body covers our bones and muscles?
Muscles and bones give your body shape and structure and allow you to move. They are part of your musculoskeletal system, which is made up of:

Bones: your skeleton

Muscles: tissue that contracts to move parts of your body.
