Detailed explanation-1: -Your musculoskeletal system includes bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissues. They work together to support your body’s weight and help you move.

Detailed explanation-2: -The movements your muscles make are coordinated and controlled by the brain and nervous system. The involuntary muscles are controlled by structures deep within the brain and the upper part of the spinal cord called the brain stem.

Detailed explanation-3: -The locomotor system is also known as the musculoskeletal system. It is made up of the skeleton, skeletal muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, cartilage and other connective tissue. These parts work together to allow your body to move.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction. Exceptions to this are the action of cilia, the flagellum on sperm cells, and amoeboid movement of some white blood cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Muscles need oxygen, so the circulatory system brings oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. The circulatory system also removes waste. Some other systems that are connected to the muscular system are the digestive, respiratory, and immune systems.
