If you look this word up in a dictionary, it will give the origin of this word which comes from the Greek. It means to be dried up. I think that is goes back to a long time ago when bodies were buried and decayed and what was left over after period of time was "dried" up bones. Now the word also means a framework as in the framework that is built before a home is finished.

Neurons fire in the brain via electrical impulses through the nervous system to trigger specific muscles to contract or relax. These muscles are attached to the bones of a skeleton with ligaments that pull or push the bone in one direction or another in relation to the skeleton as a whole, if the muscle that contracts and relaxes is attached to a bone that remains stationary during the contraction or relaxation, the rest of the skeleton would move in the opposite direction of the contraction or relaxtion depending on the joints and the relationship of that joint to the muscle contracted or relaxed, thus allowing the skeleton to "move."
