Welcome!!
On this website, you will learn about the muscluloskeleton system. I hope that this website has most of the information you need. Enjoy!!
HOW MUSCLES AND BONES WORK TOGETHER
when the bicep contracts, the arm bends, when the tricep contracts, the arm straightens.
Muscles are attached to the bones in ways that move the bones when the muscles are contracted. Humans need muscle contraction to help them move, the way that happens is that the brain sends singals through nerves to the correct muscle, telling it to contract, which moves the bones. For an example, if you want to bend your arm to pick something up, the brain sends singals through the nerves to the muscles in your arm. The brain tells the biceps to contract, which bends the arm. If you want to straighten your arm to put something down, then again, the brain sends singals to the muscles through the nerves, telling the tricep to straighten.
The Musculoskeletal System |
Major Function - The major functions of the musculoskeletal system is that the skeleton provides protection for the internal organs from the enviroment.
- Both the muscles and the bones provide structural support to the body and they both play an important role in movement and locomotion. |
Major Organs The musculoskeletal system is only made up of two organs, which means that the two most important organs in the musculoskeletal system are muscles and bones.
|
Major Tissues The musculoskeletal system has at least four major tissues. The four tissues in the musculoskeletal system are the epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, nerve tissue and the connective tissue.

TISSUES
A tissue is a group of cells that are similar in shape and function. The four tissues in the musculoskeletal system are the muscle tissue, epthelial tissue, nerve tissue and connective tissue, which, by the way are the four basic types of tissues. The different cells that make up the different tissues are epithelial cells for epithelial tissue, muscle cells for muscle tissue, nerve cells for nerve tissue and fat cells for connective tissue. The four kinds of cells make up the four tissues, which makes up the musculoskeletal system's organs (muscle, bone). The nervous tissue is attached to the muscle tissue, and the epithelial tissue lines the muscle tissue. The connective tissue is in the tendons which connect the skeletal muscles to the bone. All these tissues make up the muscle organ. Combinations of connective tissue and epithelial tissue make up bone
ORGANS
The tissues form the organs of the musculoskeletal system, which are the muscle and bone.
The muscle and bone not only have to work toghether to help the human move, but they have
to work together to protect all the important organs in your body. In order for the muscle and
bone to do their job, they have to work together, and to do that they have to be connected.
The way muscles are connected to the bone is by tendons. If it weren't for tendons, you
wouldn't be able to move our body, and that wouldn't be good. Tendons are tough, fibrous cords
of connective tissue that connects the skeletal muscles to bones. Within them, sharpey's fibers pass
through the bone covering , to embed in the bone.
