The brain is inside the skull. It controls everything that happens in our bodies. It receives messages from our five senses and gives instructions. There are nerves all over our body. Most nerves are connected to the brain by the spinal cord. The nerves carry messages to the brain and instructions from the brain to our locomotor system that make us move and react to the environment. Ve use our senses all the time to recognise and respond to what is happening around us. For example, eeing the little green man on a pedestrian traffic light means we can cross the street.

We can move some of them, for example, the ones in our arms and legs. Other muscles move automatically, for example, the heart. We have 206 bones. They are hard and rigid. Bones make up the skeleton. They support the body and protect the heart, lungs and brain, Bones are also light so we can move. Joints are where two or more bones meet. At the joints tendons attach muscles to the bones, When a muscle contracts it pulls on the bone, moving it. This allows the skeleton to bend. The hip is a joint and so is the knee.
