How do skeletal muscles bones and joints work together to allow the body to move?

When a neurotransmitter, or message, is sent to produce movement, energy is released in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), causing skeletal muscle contraction, or shrinkage.

Explanation:

When the specific muscle contracts, pull the corresponding bone at its insertion point. This contraction shortens the distance of the angle between the articulated bones, with the joint acting as the point of support. Upon receiving the signal to relax, the muscle opposite the contracted muscle will act to extend the moving bone back to its original position.
THAT IS ALL
