The muscles, in conjunction with the skeleton and the body's nervous system work together to move the body and guide it through various activities and positions. Certain muscles are more dense than others as a result of certain activities such as cycling or weightlifting which helps develops the thighs or arms and which are expected to carry heavier loads.
