Muscles and tendons move bones at the joints. You can not actually "move bones" on your own, rather you can only contract and relax certain muscles and tendons specifically told to listen to you.

Why are muscles important to your skeletal system?

You should have phrased it, "What is the importance of the joints in the skeletal system?" Well you use joints all the time if you don't know that... I will give you an example of why it's so important. If you only had bones without any joints. You would not be able to bend, or twist. You would be EXTREMELY stiff. It would probably be nearly impossible for you to move. Also you would not be able to play Video Games because you have to bend your fingers or twist and rotate them.

Why you use your muscle to move not your bones?

Your bones are solid and fixed - they cannot move by themselves because they have no flexibility. Your muscles are used to move your bones because each muscle can contract or relax - get shorter or longer - and therefore cause the bones to move.


Explain why the skeletal and muscular systems cannot function without each other.?

We need all 11 of our body systems in order to function. Muscular system provides ligaments, tendons, and muscles to make the bones attach muscles. Without the skeletal system, our body will not have any support. Without muscular system, we'll just look like a skeleton covered with skin. Also there are blood vessels and nerves in the muscles, and that's how we move and use our feet and hands.

How does the skeletal system help the digestive system?

The skeletal system stores the excess calcium that the digestive system breaks down from food. The body does not need all of the calcium that it gets from food, so it stores what is not needed within the bones until the body has a use for it. This is what keeps your bones hard and strong.
