Learning Objective
I can describe how the muscular and skeletal systems interact to produce movement.
- 1
The skeletal system provides structure and protection to the body and is made up of bones, joints, and cartilage.
- 2
The muscular system is responsible for body movement through the contraction and relaxation of muscle tissue.
- 3
Tendons connect muscle tissue to bones, allowing the muscular system to move the skeletal system; together they form the musculoskeletal system.
