| There are about 206 bones in the human body, they have the function of protecting and preserving the shape of soft tissues. The skeleton provides a framework for the muscles, it controls and directs internal pressure and provides stability anchoring points for other soft tissues. There are a wide variety of bones/bony tissues adapted for specific functions to aid locomotion and support, bones are moved by the skeletal muscles. In addition the skeletal system stores and produces blood cells in the bone marrow. |

The major functions of the muscular system are:
1. Body movement due to the contraction of skeletal muscles
2. Maintenance of posture also due to skeletal muscles
3. Respiration due to movements of the muscles of the thorax
4. -Production of body heat, which is necessary for the maintenance of body temperature, as a byproduct of muscle contraction
5. -Communication, such as speaking and writing, which involve skeletal muscles
6. -Constriction of organs and vessels, especially smoother muscles that can move solids and liquids in the digestive tract and other secretions, including urine, from organs
7. -Heart beat caused by the contraction of cardiac muscle that propels blood to all parts of the body |
