Why do muscles need the skeletal system in order to work properly?

because without bones we would be a big fat blob. No movement will lead to no muscle growth, so we would be a big fat blob. That is if we had something to feed us, because without bones we would be a big fat unmovable blob unless we rolled around to get to places. Similar to a worm, but bigger and fatter. to make things easier to understand, no bones+no movement=big fat hairy blob.

∙ 14y agomuscles are important to the bones as both the bones and the muscles and the bones are interlinked.
bones are the frame of the human body. as muscles are attached to the bones, it provides movements in the body. so without one, other is useless. for example, if there is a disease to bones or the muscles around a part, that part cant be moved or cant be used.

∙ 11y agoMost of the motions performed by the human body involve the skeletal system. When you move your fingers, the finger bones define the movement, and the associated muscle, skin, blood vessels etc. move with the bones. There are other ways that bodies can be designed. An octopus has no skeletal system, and its tentacles move perfectly well. Muscles can be designed to play against other muscles, or to work in isolation in the way that the human heart does. But most human muscles are anchored to bones, and are designed to move bones. If we had tentacles instead of arms, we wouldn't need bones to pick things up.

How are the skeletal system the muscular system and the nervous system connected to each other?
Skeletal system provides the support and shape to the body. It works as a base that muscles attach to using tendons. Muscles contract and relax in order to move the body.
Muscles and bones together enable the body to?
The bones adequately support the muscles, and the muscles move the skeletal system. They coincide with each other in order to work. one system could not work without the other.
What specifically happens to both the bones and muscles?
Both bones and muscles are organs that are a part of a system in the body. The bones are part of the skeletal system and muscles are part of the muscular system. Both of these systems interact in order to do many complex functions, one example being that they work together to make your body move.
What other body system works with the skin?
Every body system works with all the other body systems in order to keep the body functioning. For instance, the muscular system makes the bones move and the skeletal system carries the muscles around. The muscular and skeletal systems wouldn't last long without the respiratory and circulatory systems. Each system needs the other systems in order to survive.
How are the skeletal system and muscular system related or similar in function?
The muscles are connected to the bones. Without the bones, the muscles would fall down in a mass of mush, but without the muscles, the bones would not be able to make our bodies move. We would always stay still.
What are the organs for the muscular system?
The heart is the only organ that is also a muscle. There are no other organs that are an actual part of the muscular system. Many organs are lined with muscle in order to help them function, such as the intestines and the stomach. Hope that's what you were looking for.
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.
What is the order of the skeletal system?
the answer is the skull brain dog and nemo
How does the skeletal system relate to the muscular system?
The skeletal and muscular systems are closely related. The muscular system is connected to the skeletal system through ligaments. The muscles are what makes the bones move.
What part of your body protects your organs?
axial skeleton .
Difference between voluntary and nonvoluntary muscles?
The only unvoluntary muscle is cardiac muscle. Heart is cardiac muscle. Unvoluntary muscle does not need nerve system in order to work. It works even if we are not in concious. Voluntary muscles need nerve system to move. The coordinating centre in our brain send nerve impulses to the muscles for various movement such as running and chewing. Instances of voluntary muscles are smooth muscle and skeletal muscle.
What does the electrolyte balance function of the bone do?
Phosphate and calcium are stored within the skeletal system. If the body needs these substances in order to maintain electrolyte balance, they are then released into the body from the skeletal system.
