SYSTEM
Perlin Zellaine T. Licas RN, PhD, MAN
The musculoskeletal system
is made up of bones, cartilage,
ligaments, tendons and
muscles, which form a
framework for the body.
Tendons, ligaments and fibrous
tissue bind the structures
together to create stability, with
ligaments connecting bone to
bone, and tendons connecting
muscle to bone.
