Muscles are connected to bone by tendons. When sacromeres inside a muscle contract it makes the muscles contract thus pulling on the tendon which in turn pulls on a bone to make it contract or also pull that contracted limb to a relaxed position. Transition in smooth muscle contraction also moves food through the intestines and esophagus.

The muscles that pull on bone are skeletal muscles. They are voluntary, which means you can control them, and they have a rough appearance.
