HUMAN MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM - LESSON 195
In this post we would learn about MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM, The musculoskeletal system is also called as locomotor system, which is helpful to provide form, support, stability, and movement to the body. This system includes bones, muscles, and joints. These are very important so that they have functions in the body. 1. BONES: Bones give support to the framework around which the body is constructed, protect, and support internal organs. They also assist the body in movement because they are attached with muscles.
