In fact, our skeletal muscles are connected to bones via filaments known as our tendons. And bones are connected to other bones via filaments, known as ligaments, that also consist in certain regions of joints that basically act to absorb some of that force, some of that shock. So basically, the skeletal system, coupled with the skeletal muscle and together known as the musculoskeletal system, is responsible for voluntary movements such as walking. Skeletal muscle is attached to bone via tendons, as shown in this diagram. We have the biceps, we have this tendon attached to our bone, we have a tendon on this side also attached to our bone, and our bone is attached to another bone via ligament. Now, the movement of this musculoskeletal system allows for a wide range of motion that is ultimately controlled by our nervous system.
