The Musculoskeletal System / What is the Musculoskeletal System?
Page: 1
If we take a look at the human skeleton, we see that the 200 or more bones, however different in size and shape they may be, are all just links in one long chain. It is the ingenious construction of the bones, with their particular inner structure and apt connection to other bones, which make the skeleton what it is: an inherently conclusive, functional unit suited to its purpose! This unit cannot function without muscles and ligaments, working jointly, often as groups of muscles. They are also known as so-called "muscular ansae" or loops.
Together with joints and bones, the muscles facilitate the most complicated of movements and can give human beings strength and stamina. In addition to bones, joints and muscles, the brain, the nerves and the sense organs are also crucial to the unit, of course. Take this preliminary to see if your condition could respond to treatment.
