The skeletal system provides a framework for movement, by working with the  muscularcardiovascularfitnessgas system. The bones act as levers and provide points for  blood cellsmusclesbursaebones to attach to via tendons, causing movement at a  joint capsulecartilagelong bonesynovial joint when the muscles contract.

The shape and type of bones can lead to different amounts of movements.  ShortLongFlatThick bones allow for fine movements, while  flatthicklongshort bones enable gross movements.  FlatLongWhiteThick bones provide protection to the vital organs, such as the cranium protecting the brain and the  ulnaribshumerustalus protecting the heart and lungs. Different joint types also allow for different types of movement, with  aerobicball and sockettablehinge joints allowing the greatest range of movement.
