Multiple Choice

How do the muscular and skeletal systems work together to facilitate movement in the body?

Muscles contract to pull on bones, creating movement at the joints.

Bones produce enzymes that increase muscle flexibility.

Bones generate electrical impulses that stimulate muscle contraction.

Muscles provide structural support to bones, preventing them from breaking.

Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the basic functions of the muscular and skeletal systems. The skeletal system provides the framework and support for the body, while the muscular system is responsible for movement by contracting and relaxing.

Recognize that muscles are attached to bones via tendons. When muscles contract, they pull on the bones, creating movement at the joints. This is a key interaction between the two systems.

Consider the role of joints in facilitating movement. Joints are the points where two bones meet, and they allow for different types of movement depending on their structure (e.g., hinge joints, ball-and-socket joints).

Understand that bones do not produce enzymes to increase muscle flexibility nor generate electrical impulses for muscle contraction. These functions are not part of the skeletal system's role in movement.

Clarify that muscles do not provide structural support to bones to prevent them from breaking. Instead, muscles work with bones to enable movement, while bones provide the necessary support and protection for the body's organs.
