PARTS OF THE

LOCOMOTOR
SYSTEM

-BONES: They are the hardest parts of the body (femur, humerus)
-MUSCLES: They are soft and are under the skin (biceps, gluteus)
- JOINTS: They are the place where bones join together (elbow, knee)

-VOLUNTARY: We want to make some movements.

MOVEMENT

-INVOLUNTARY: We dont want. We make them without thinking

THE FUNCTIONS
OF
THE
SKELETON

1) It holds up our body

2) It protects the most delicate parts of our body
3) It helps move our body

The locomotor system has bones,

muscles and joints.
Bones form the skeleton.
Muscles form the musculature.
Joints can be movable, semi-movable
or fixed.
