Answer:

The skeletal muscles connect to the bones and work with connective tissue at the joints to allow for movement. The muscles connect to the nervous system and allow initiation of movement through nerve signals to and from the brain. The bones and muscles are supported by connective tissue, which plays an integral role in structural support.
