The skin is located superficial to the muscles, meaning it is positioned on the outer layer of the body, while the muscles lie beneath it. This arrangement allows the skin to serve as a protective barrier for the underlying tissues, including muscles, organs, and other structures. Additionally, the skin contains sensory receptors that provide information about the external environment, which is vital for reflexes and overall body awareness.

How do bones and muscles work together?
Muscles change the relative position of the bones. The bones are just the passive (but required) part.

Is the calf deep and distal to the knee?
The calf is distal to the knee. There are multiple muscles in the lower leg. Their position relative to the skin is what determines it's depth/superficiality.
Is there more mitochondria in a muscles or skin?

The sense of knowing the position of ones body relative position of different muscles?
This sense is called proprioception. It enables us to sense the position of our body parts and understand how they are moving without having to visually observe them. Proprioception relies on receptors in our muscles and joints to send signals to our brain about our body's position in space. It plays a crucial role in movement control, coordination, and balance.
