Muscles provide the tug on the bones needed to bend, straighten, and support joints. Muscles can pull on bones, but they can't push them back to their original position, so the muscles work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The extensor muscle relaxes and stretches as the flexor muscle contracts to bend the joint.

I hope this helps

Answer:

Muscles move body parts. Muscles can pull bones but can put them back together. Muscles stretch across our bones and are attached with tendons. Bones shape our bodies and help us to stand up straight. Muscles are attached to bones, they help us walk and run and smile.
