What is the function of the locomotor system?

The locomotor system allows us to move and exercise.

The locomotor system provides us

• shape,

• and movement to the body.

The locomotor system is made up of

• the skeleton (all the bones in the body),

• and muscles.

The locomotor system is also called the musculoskeletal system.

‘Musculoskeletal’ is the combination of two body systems:

• the muscular system
• and the skeletal system.
