A muscle that is attached to the skeleton

Real World Example

Imagine trying to move a heavy piece of furniture across a room without any help. Just like how you rely on your arms and legs to push and pull the furniture, your skeletal muscles are responsible for moving your bones to perform actions. In this analogy, the furniture is like your body, the arms and legs are the skeletal muscles, and the floor represents your skeleton; without the muscles exerting force on the skeleton, movement would be impossible.
