the muscles are around or next to the bones, the contracting of muscles enables the bones to move. for example the muscles in your arm, when you move your arm up, the muscle underneath the bone contract (tighten) to push the bone upwards.

∙ 15y agoMuscles pull the bone. Muscles can only contract with any force. It takes the contraction of the opposing muscle to straighten out the previously contracted muscle or gravity. For instance, if you lift a weight with your bicep, gravity can carry your arm back to starting position. If you are laying down then it is your tricep contracting which brings your bicep back to starting position.

What causes a joint to move?
Joints don't have the ability to move. Joints are where two or more bones meet. One end of muscle attaches to the bone and the other end of the muscle stretches cross the joint and attaches to the bone on the other side of the joint. Muscles work in pairs, so that when one muscle contracts (the only movement that muscle can make), the other of the pair relaxes which causes movement at the joint when the bone is pulled by the muscle.
