Examples of how your bones and muscles help you play.

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🦴 Bones: Provide the structural framework and support for movement. Act as levers for muscles to pull on.
• 💪 Muscles: Generate force to move bones. Muscles work in pairs (agonist and antagonist) to create movement.
• 🤝 Joints: Where bones meet. Allow for different types of movement (e.g., hinge, ball-and-socket).
• 🧠 Nervous System: Controls muscle contractions. Sends signals from the brain to the muscles.
• ⚡ Movement: Muscles contract, pulling on tendons, which are attached to bones, causing movement at the joints.
