OUR BODIES
The Skeleton and Muscles

This book looks at the muscles, bones and joints that make up the musculo-skeletal system. It shows how this system supports and protects the human body and allows it to move around. It examines the composition and workings of bones, muscles and tendons and considers the problems that can occur when the musculo-skeletal system is subjected to too much or too little activity.
