The bones are covered with muscles, which are what we mean when we say the flesh. There are a great many muscles in the body. They give it shape and move it about. When we bend an arm or a finger, we do it by the action of the muscles. The brain tells the muscles how to act, as we have seen. It sends messages along the nerves, and the muscles obey. We can make our muscles strong by exercise, but if we do not use them enough, they will grow weak and soft.
