Question

How do muscles help the body move?

Answer 1

Answer:

Muscles pull on joints, which allows us to move. They also assist the body in performing tasks such as chewing and transporting food through the digestive system. Even when we sit absolutely motionless, our muscles are continually moving throughout our bodies.

Answer 2

Answer:

Muscles are attached to bones by tendons and help them to move. When a muscle contracts (bunches up), it gets shorter and so pulls on the bone it is attached to. When a muscle relaxes, it goes back to its normal size. So it helps the body to move by letting us be firm and have the ability to balance and do many things we couldn't without bones.
