ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. It is needed to make muscles move. It is created by cellular respiration which creates energy for cells to function. Then those properly energized and properly functioning cells make our muscles move when told to do so by our brain.

To put a finger up one muscle might pull, the other will put to put back down. With two, the movement will be smooth, otherwise it will be "jerky" and uncontrolled.


Why ligaments a part of the skeletal system?

If we didn't have a skeletal system we would be a blob on the ground. If we didn't have bones well basically the same thing but also we wouldn't be able to produce blood or marrow.<----- (important) We also need tendons and ligaments so our muscles stay attached to our bones (another reason why we need bones) and allow smoother movement.
