How does the muscular system help the skeletal system?
A
contract and relax to move bones
B
supports the body
C
sends signals to bones
D
helps bones maintain homeostasis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tendons connect the skeletal system to the muscular system by attaching muscle to bone. When muscle contracts, the tendon acts on the bone, causing movement. Joints, the point at which two or more bones connect, can be fixed, slightly movable, or freely movable.

Detailed explanation-2: -The muscles of the muscular system keep bones in place; they assist with movement by contracting and pulling on the bones. To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints which are connected to other bones and muscle fibers via connective tissues such as 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: -Many skeletal muscles are attached to the ends of bones that meet at a joint. The muscles span the joint and connect the bones. When the muscles contract, they pull on the bones, causing them to move.

Detailed explanation-5: -Relaxation and contraction of muscles cause the bones to move.
