What is the Muscular and Skeletal System?
The skeletal and muscular system is strongly interconnected. The human body’s skeletal structure gives protection to our internal organs and gives our body’s shape. In conjunction with the framework the skeletal system offers the muscular system moves that framework. In a mechanical analogy the human skeletal structure are the levers that exert force muscles create. The skeletal system is made of joints that lend to its mobility. There are six types of these joints in the human skeletal system. Ball-and-socket joints are found in the hip and shoulder, which give a rotational range of motion. Gliding joints are found in the wrist and ankle, which offer a back and forth range of motion. There are pivotal joints, that combine the motions of gliding and ball-and-socket joints, saddle joints, hinge joints, and ellipsoid joints, which move along two-axis, or in three dimensions (jaw, toes, fingers). Therefore, the skeletal system is like a door. The structure is in place for the door to move
