Hy,
There are 206 bones in adult. Bones together form skeletal system. Examples of some bones- Facial, vomer, maxilla, mandible, Zygomatic, parietal, vertebral column.
Muscles - There are 639 muscles known to be present in human body. Out of which 5 are unpaired, 317 are paired. Muscles have various functions like contraction, relaxation, face muscles for facial expressions, leg muscles for movements. Example of muscles - Biceps, Triceps, Pectoralis major, Pectoralis minor, Quadriceps.
Joints - A structure in the human body at which two parts of the skeleton are fitted together.
Example - Ball and socket joint, Atlantoaxial joint, Pivot joint.

Answer:
Bones don't work alone — they need help from the muscles and joints. Muscles pull on the joints, allowing us to move. They also help the body perform other functions so we can grow and remain strong, such as chewing food and then moving it through the digestive system. The human body has more than 600 muscles.
