Musculoskeletal system in 3D

The musculoskeletal system gives the body its shape and allows it to move, combining bones, joints, ligaments and skeletal muscles.

Bones act as rigid levers, joints and ligaments guide movement between them, and muscles provide the force. Each muscle runs from an origin to an insertion, and its action depends on the joint it crosses.
