ABSTRACT
The locomotor system is concerned with locomotion. In man, it is based on joints, with the interdependence of bones, muscles and nerves. Bones are the strong, hard structures which provide an anchorage for softer tissues. Joints are the structures between adjacent bones, which permit them to move one upon the other. Muscles provide the motive power to move the bones at the appropriate joint. Nerves control and co-ordinate the muscle actions.
