Living things are made up of cells. They can be unicellular (one cell)or
multicellular (lots of cells). Human beings are multicellular.
A cell is the basic unit of life. We can only see a cell through a
microscope.
Cells carry out three life processes: nutrition, sensitivity and
reproduction.
Cells are different in size and shape.

Our cells work together at different levels of organization: cells

tissues organs systems organisms.
Cells join together to form tissues. For example, muscle tissue or
bone tissue are made up of cells.
Tissues join together to form organs and perform a common
function. For example, the stomach, the heart, the kidneys or the
tongue are made up of tissues.
Organs join together to form systems and perform a common
function. For example, the locomotor system is made up of all the
muscles and bones in the body. They work together to move.
Systems work together to form a human being.

The skeletal system and the muscular system work together in the
locomotor system to move.
The skeletal system
Bones protect the organs and give the body shape. Bones are hard and
rigid.
The end of the bones is the cartilage (a soft tissue), joints are between
bones and ligaments (flexible tissue) hold bones together.
The muscular system
All muscles are organs. Relaxed muscles are long and contracted muscles
are short. Muscles are joined to bones by tendons.
How the locomotor system works
Our brain gives an order, the muscle receives the order and contracts
pushing the bones and producing movement. Afterwards, the muscle
relaxes.
Muscles works in pairs. They are antagonists. For example the biceps and
the triceps. When one muscle contracts, the other relaxes and vice versa.
