JOINTS AND MUSCLES

The joints and muscles are the main structures in the

human mobility. Joints are the lever that joins two bones while

the muscles are the motor that mobilize the bones. In infants,

movements begin by crawling, standing, walking, running and

climbing. All these movements need skilled and perfect

muscles and joints coordination.

Muscle covers most part of the body. It functions to

move joints, shapes the body and covers the structures and

organs underneath it.

Joint is a lever extending and shortening the upper and

lower parts and the spine. Without joints, man cannot move.Generally, joints act to build the human structure, give

flexibility and strengthen bones.
