Muscles, which are attached to the bones by tendons and other tissues, exerts force by converting chemical energy into tension and contraction. They are made up of millions of tiny protein filaments that work together, contracting and releasing to produce motion in the body . Every single muscle in the body is connected to the brain and spinal cord by nerves. muscles have many functions.
