HOW MY BODY MOVES

Our bodies have three parts: head, torso and limbs. 

 

• The skeleton supports your body. 
• The skeleton is made of 206 bones. 
• Bones are hard and rigid.

• Our bones and muscles help us move. They are part of our locomotor system.
• Muscles are soft and elastic.
• Muscles contract and relax.
 

 

Joints make the skeleton flexible. Joints help us move.


Our locomotor system is made up of bones, muscles and joints.
