Skeletal muscles are controlled by nerves from the Peripheral Nervous System. This causes the muscles to contract when they receive the messages transmitted along motor neurons, originating in the motor areas of the cerebral cortex.

The axons of these motor neurons extend out to the muscle where it divides and goes to different muscles.

The motor pathways that carry the nerve impulse from brain to muscle are composed of two neurons:

- Upper motor neurons --> (cell body in the brain)

- Lower motor neurons --> (cell body in the grey matter of the spinal cord)

When a nerve impulse initiates the contraction of a skeletal muscle, it results in movement about a joint.

Link bones across joints?

Bones are linked across joints by connective tissues known as ligaments, which provide stability and support while allowing for movement. Additionally, tendons connect muscles to bones, enabling the movement of joints when muscles contract. Cartilage, a flexible tissue, cushions the ends of bones at joints, reducing friction and absorbing shock. Together, these structures facilitate smooth and controlled motion between bones.
