consists of muscles, bones, joints, and related structures

musculoskeletal system

composed of contractile cells, or fibers, that provide movement of an organ or body part; contribute to posture, produce body heat, and act as a protective covering for internal organs

muscles

skeletal, cardiac, and smooth

3 types of muscle tissue

Motions include passage and elimination of food through the digestive system, propulsion of blood through the arteries, and contraction of the bladder to eliminate wastes.

muscles
