Why you use your muscle to move not your bones?

Your bones are solid and fixed - they cannot move by themselves because they have no flexibility. Your muscles are used to move your bones because each muscle can contract or relax - get shorter or longer - and therefore cause the bones to move.


How the muscles enable the bones to move?

Muscles can move bones because they can reduce their length in response to a stimulus, which comes from the nervous system. Skeletal muscles, the ones attached to the bones to make them move, have two ends: an origin and an insertion. These ends are each connected to different bones and these bones are connected to each other by a joint. The two bones and the muscle can be seen to form a triangle, with the bones making up two of the three sides, and the muscle the third. answer is correct, this is a shorter version, muscle connects 2 bones, the muscle fibers contract to shorten and pull the bones closer together.
