Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The musculoskeletal system is made up of the body’s bones (the skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. Its primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -What does it do? Your musculoskeletal system supports you and helps you move. It’s made up of your bones and joints. It also includes muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Muscles can pull bones, but they can’t push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Joints. Each bone of the musculoskeletal system is connected to one or more bones via a joint. Joints provide a fulcrum to the bones, on which they pivot and thereby allow movements of body parts.
