Human Locomotor System Concepts

This video introduces the human locomotor system, which enables movement and consists of the muscular and skeletal systems. The muscular system, being the active part, includes muscles connected to bones via tendons. Muscles can be voluntary, moving at will, or involuntary, like the heart and stomach, which function automatically. The video encourages viewers to explore more on the topic through their website.
