The skeleton is made of bones (over 300!) which act as a frame work for the attachment of muscles. The muscles shorten (because they consist of contractile tissue) to produce movement of the skeleton. Not all bones that muscles attach to are actually mobile. For example, bones that make up the cranial vault have minuscule movement, almost none compared to that of a knee or elbow joint. The type of joint dictates whether the muscle pulling on the bones will produce significant movement.

What muscle moves bones?
There are three types of muscle in your body: striated, smooth and cardiac. The striated muscle is also called skeletal muscle and it is this type of muscle that moves your joints. Skeletal muscles are attached by tendons to the bones that they act on.
How do bones and muscles work together to support movement and maintain the body's structure?
Bones provide a framework for muscles to attach to and act as levers for movement. Muscles contract and pull on the bones, causing movement. Together, bones and muscles work in coordination to support movement and maintain the body's structure.
Why muscles are attached to bones?
Well, they are both systems that help you move so hat could be a reason. Muscles pull and the skeletal system has joints and liagments.
How do bones act as levers?
Bones act as levers in the body by providing a rigid support for muscles to attach to. When muscles contract, they pull on the bones, creating movement around joints. The length and position of bones determine the leverage and force that muscles can exert to move the body.
How is the tendon attached to the foot in a frog?
In frogs, tendons are connected to the foot bones through a series of specialized structures called vincula. These vincula act as connectors between the tendons and bones, allowing for controlled movement of the foot during jumping and other activities.
How are muscles, bones, and tendons related in the human body and how do they work together to facilitate movement and support?
Muscles, bones, and tendons work together in the human body to facilitate movement and support. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons, which allow muscles to pull on bones to create movement. Bones provide structure and support for the body, while muscles generate the force needed to move the bones. Tendons act as connectors between muscles and bones, transmitting the force generated by the muscles to the bones to produce movement. This coordinated effort between muscles, bones, and tendons allows for smooth and efficient movement and provides stability and support to the body.
How do muscles and tendons work together to facilitate movement in the human body?
Muscles and tendons work together to facilitate movement in the human body by connecting to bones. Muscles contract to generate force, pulling on tendons which then pull on bones to create movement. Tendons act as a bridge between muscles and bones, transmitting the force generated by muscles to produce coordinated movement.
What is the organ that helps your body move?
The physical act is carried out by your musculoskeletal system, composed of all your bones and muscles. Your nervous system does play a large role as well, as it sends the signal to those muscles to perform an action.
Collection of organs whose primary function is movement?
muscular system
What is the function of the cartilages found at the joint?
The cartilages at the ends of bones act as a soft pliable cushion between the bones that form the joint. Bone on bone movement is very painful.
How the skeletal system allows movement of the body?
depends on who you ask but their is 2 points of view yes and no -yes because it is what your body uses to pull on to move your body -no because muscles do all the work so it basically depends on how you want to think about it
How can a bone act as a lever?
A bone acts as a lever by providing a rigid structure that muscles can pull against to generate movement. Muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and when the muscles contract, they create a force that acts on the bone, causing it to rotate around a joint. This rotation allows for movement of body parts.
