The document discusses the human locomotor system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, and tendons that work together to allow movement of the body. The locomotor system has several functions - it moves parts of the body like the arms and legs, and some muscles like the heart move automatically. Bones provide structure and protection for organs, while joints connect two or more bones and muscles contract to pull on bones via tendons. The document provides tips for caring for the locomotor system such as warming up before exercise, stretching after, getting enough sleep, eating calcium-rich foods, and avoiding bad posture or heavy lifting.

Muscles are elastic and flexible

Tendons attach muscles to the bones.
