There are no muscles in the human finger. The muscles that bend the finger are located in the palm and in the mid forearm, and are connected to the finger bones by tendons, which pull on and move the fingers.

What movement of the skeletal muscle will make the bones move?

Muscles move bones only by contraction.

Both work by a series of shortenings of the fibers inside the muscles.
