The Muscular system

There are four major muscle functions

-Muscle tendons stabilize joints

If you didn't have these tendons the joints to hold them together and stable when you use your muscle to bend your arm the bones would fall apart, or pop out of joint at the elbow. It's very important that you have tendons to hold everything together.

-Fight gravity

They help you keep up right and standing, other wise gravity  pushes you down to the earth. Muscles help you fight that.

-Move skeleton

They help you move your skeleton, they are obviously attached to your bones so they just help you move around.

-Heat production

Muscle produces the heat.
