Support and Movement 2nd year important chapter

Introduction to Support and Movement Support and movement are essential functions in living organisms, enabling them to maintain structure, posture, and mobility. These functions are primarily carried out by the skeletal and muscular systems, which work together to provide stability and allow coordinated movement. Definition of Support and Movement Support: The ability of an organism to maintain its shape and structure, primarily provided by the skeletal system in vertebrates and exoskeletons in some invertebrates. Movement: The ability to change position or location, which occurs due to the contraction and relaxation of muscles, often in coordination with the skeletal system.
