The way the muscles are attached to the bones is what facilitates locomotion. The muscles contract which makes the bones move and creates locomotion.

What kind of muscle makes human bones light?
The type of muscles that wrap around bones are typically skeletal muscles, but muscles do not make the bones light. What makes bones light are the fact that they are porous. There are a lot of holes within the bones that make it lighter, but those holes make sort of arcs and what not, similar to those in the Eiffel tower, for example. They are light weight, but very strong.
Explain how muscles and bones cause body movement?
The bones provide a frame for the body. Muscles are attached to the bones, and when the contract, they pull the bone in one direction. When they relax, the bone is free to return to its previous position, thus causing movement.
Why do bones become stronger after exercise?
Bones become stronger after exercise because when you exercise your muscles become bigger and your muscles pull your bone so if the muscle was big and the bone wasn't then there will be a high risk of heart attack.
What muscles are there?
There are three basic types of muscle: smooth, skeletal, and cardiac. Smooth muscles are part of organs like the intestines, skeletal muscles are connected to bones, and cardiac muscles makes up most of the heart.
What makes an astronaut weaker?
in zero gravity, your muscles dont have to work very hard unless youre doing something. exercise for astronauts is important so that muscles dont become weak from not being used - also bones become weaker and less dense in zero gravity and nobody knows exactly why yet
What happens to your bones if you do a lot of excersise?
Bone density decreases with no physical activity. It is actually the physical force on the bones that occurs during exercising that builds stronger bones. ITS THE BEST!
Is a muscle makes a movement in the joint?
Opposing muscles use connective tissues to cause movement in a joint.
What bone makes your eye move?
bones dont make your eye move..when you look at the skuul theres no connecting bone where the eye should be...
Do the elderly get frail?
The answer to this, generally, is yes. Everyone is different, but with age, bones begin to deteriorate, muscles weaken with disuse, and balance issues cause movement to be more difficult. Seniors over the age of 65 become more at risk for conditions like osteoporosis, and other conditions that weaken the bones and muscles. Also, when someone lacks the ability to move easily, they remain stationary most of the day because it's easier for them. This causes muscles to atrophy which makes them even weaker. The elderly become frail with age almost always (to what degree varies from person to person), and falls become more likely.
