   The skeleton is a frame. The muscles are attached to the frame by tendons. We flex out muscles and it moves our frame. Each part of the body that moves is controlled by the muscle above it. For example: when you flex your fingers it is controlled by the muscles in your hands, your hands are controlled by the muscles in your forearms, you forearms are controlled by the muscles in your upper arms and so on.

   the skeletal system provides is a "frame" while the muscular system is the different muscles and tendons that work to move that "frame"

   muscle tissue is connected to the bone by ligaments. When we move, our muscles stretch and contract with our motion. This all coordinates with messages sent to our brain through our spinal column. i would still do research to get the more technical details.

   The muscles move the bones where the bones give the muscles someplace to attach to in order to contract.
