THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM IS COMPOST OF TWO BODY SYSTEMS:SKELETAL SYSTEM AND MUSCULAR SYSTEM.IT HAS THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS; A.IT SERVES AS A FRAMEWORK OF THE BODY B.IT SUPPORTS THE BODY C.IT ALLOWS THE BODY TO MOVE D.IT IS MADE UP OF BONES THAT PRORECT THE INTERNAL ORGANS E.IT IS A STORAGE OF MINERALS AND FAT.
The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the human locomotor system, and previously the activity system[1]) is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.It is made up of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage,[2] tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. The musculoskeletal system's primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs.[3] The skeletal portion of the system serves as the main storage system for calcium and phosphorus and contains critical components of the hematopoietic system.[4]
