Bones for Support, Muscles for Movement The muscular system consists of tissues that move parts of the body and operate internal organs. The human body has over 600 muscles. Your muscles supply power to move your body.

The Skeletal System Joints are where two or more bones meet. Cartilage allows joints to move easily, cushion bones, and supports soft tissues, such as those in your nose and ear. Ligaments hold bones in place at the joints. Tendons join muscle to muscle or muscle to bone. The Muscular System
