Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The three systems that mainly deal with human movement are the muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems, but actually all eleven systems do work together to coordinate body movements, and, in fact, keep the human body alive.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the musculoskeletal system, the muscular and skeletal systems work together to support and move the body. The bones of the skeletal system serve to protect the body’s organs, support the weight of the body, and give the body shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your nervous system (brain and nerves) sends a message to activate your skeletal (voluntary) muscles. Your muscle fibers contract (tense up) in response to the message. When the muscle activates or bunches up, it pulls on the tendon. Tendons attach muscles to bones.
