The anatomy of a Chimpanzee is very, very similar to that of a human. Therefore, the way they produce movement is the same. Let's say that a hungry Chimp sees a tree laden with succulent fruit. The visual stimuli sent to the brain through the eyes will cause the Chimp to form a thought about moving in that direction. Electrical impulses are then sent from the brain which engage the various muscle groups responsible for locomotion. These muscles voluntarily tense, thus pulling on tendons that are anchored to the bones. These bones provide the Chimp's body structural support.
