Abstract

The weight-bearing and locomotor system of the human body is basically composed of the skeletal muscles and of the systems that transfer the power of the muscles (i.e., the tendons and aponeuroses) in the torso, spine, and extremities. The construction and shape of the individual muscles and their position in relation to the joints determine their function.
