Muscles are not jointed, though the bones they attach to may be.

For example, your biceps muscle attaches to both your scapula (shoulder blade) and radius (one of the forearm bones). Contracting the muscle causes the elbow joint to bend.

Are Annelids Jointed Not Jointed or Absent?

Annelids, which include earthworms and leeches, are characterized by their segmented bodies. Each segment contains a series of structures and muscles that allow for movement. They do not have jointed appendages like arthropods; instead, their body segments are flexible and allow for coordinated movement through contraction and relaxation of muscles. Therefore, annelids have non-jointed body segments rather than jointed appendages.
