The musculoskeletal system is made up of bones, muscles, and various connective tissues. The neuromuscular system is the combination of the neurological system and the musculoskeletal system working together effectively.

The neurological system is composed of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Signals from the neurological system send messages to the musculoskeletal system to cause responses and reactions to external and internal stimuli to maintain homeostasis and protect the body from injury.

brain — contained within the cranial cavity of the skull is the central organ of the nervous system responsible for controlling bodily functions, processing sensory information, and…. spinal cord — a long, thin, tube-shaped bundle of nerves that extends from the base of the brain through the vertebral column; contained within the vertebral cavity of the vertebral column. skeletal system — the bones, joints, and other structures that allow for movement, form the body, make blood cells, and shield organs. bone — hard, dense connective tissue that form most of the adult skeleton, the primary support structure of the body.
