Figures posed in a dancer's lift showing the capabilities of the musculature of the human body. Lifts require extreme muscular control and coordination. Teams of thirty or more muscles hoisting and stretching together can move, lift and rotate bones in a group, engineering the body's major movements and postures. Connective tissue, composed mostly of collagen, makes up tendons which join muscle either to more muscle or to bone, and converts muscle into independent units which helps maximize functionality.
