The locomotor system, encompassing the skeletal and muscular systems, is integral for movement and bodily functions.
- Bones provide a framework for support and protection, while muscles generate force for motion.
- Joints facilitate articulation and enable a range of movements.
- Muscles contract, producing movement at joints and controlling posture.
This system ensures mobility, stability, and coordination for activities like walking, running, and grasping objects. It supports physical activities, maintains body alignment, and interacts with the nervous system to coordinate actions. The locomotor system’s harmonious functioning is vital for daily activities, athletic performance, and overall interaction with the environment.
