Blood brings oxygen and ATP, which react with one another (oxidation), to the muscle cells. The result of this oxidation process (aerobic) is energy and heat. (Most of the body's heat originates from muscle activity.)

Skeletal muscles will not contract unless stimulated by neurons.

Why must skeletal work in pairs to move a bone?

Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone so that the muscles can function properly. Muscles can only pull, therefore bones need two muscles to make it move. 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.


What would happen if part of your skeletal system was removed?

Since muscles need bones to work on, we would not be able to move or do other functions.


Why is it important that muscular system be nourished by the blood on a priority basis?

It is important that muscular system be nourished by the blood on a priority basis. This is because the muscles are constantly using energy and need to be nourished and have the energy replaced.

Does skeletal muscle need stimulation to contract?

Yes! Although we have total control over these muscles, they still need stimulation to contract. The difference with muscles that we don't control is that we decide if we want to make this stimulation.


Why does the muscular system need the circulatory system?

the cardiovascular system needs the skeletal system because the skeletal system protects the organs of the cardiovascular system with the ribs and other bone parts. Also bone produces erythrocytes (red blood cells) and leukocytes (white blood cells) which of course are essential for the cardiovascular system
