  • The skeletal and muscular system work together through a series of signals and impulses between the brain and skeletal muscles. In order to move, the nervous signals sends a signal, then the skeletal muscle reacts, to either expand or reacts. Since the bones and muscles are connected, when the muscle move, the bone also moves along with it.

Inside the bones is a substance called bone marrow. Bone marrow is responsible for making new blood cells. Red blood cells are needed for the transport of oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells play a critical role in the immune system. Because the bone marrow is the area where these cells are made, problems with the skeletal system can have a huge effect on the hematological system (the blood).
    McGraw-Hill notes that the skeletal system also plays an important role in the body's regulation of calcium. Calcium levels in the blood have to stay within a very narrow range for muscles and nerves to work correctly. The skeletal system serves as the biggest reservoir for calcium in the body, which allows the body to get extra calcium when blood levels are low and to deposit excess calcium if too much winds up in the blood. The thyroid and parathyroid glands secrete hormones that tell cells within the bones (osteoclasts and osteoblasts) if calcium needs to be released or stored in the bones.

  • Homeostasis is maintain by allowing the animal to move to more favorable external conditions. 
  • Certain cells in the bones produce immune cells as well as important cellular components of the blood.
  • Bone also helps regulate blood calcium levels, serving as a calcium sink. 
  • Rapid muscular contraction is important in generating internal heat, another homeostatic function.  
  • If the body temperature needs to be lowered heat is released from the body in the form of sweat. 
  • If the body is to cold, the muscles shiver to generate body heat.

    Joints     are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible — without them, movement would be impossible. Muscles are also necessary for movement: They're the masses of tough, elastic tissue that pull our bones when we move.

    Together, our bones, muscles, and joints — along with tendons, ligaments, and cartilage — form our musculoskeletal system and enable us to do everyday physical activities.

  • Muscles move bones in relationship to each other whenever you move your legs or arms. 
  • The circulatory system brings nutrients to the muscles and takes away wastes. 
  • Muscles along the intestines move digesting food along
  •  Diaphragm, a large, flat muscle that separates the lungs from the intestines. It is the movement of the diaphragm that causes the lungs to inflate and deflate.
  • The muscular system interacts with the immune system via the lymph system. The lymph vessels run through the muscles, and the regular action of the muscles pumps lymph through the lymph vessels.
  • The skeletal system surrounds these organs and safeguards delicate nerve tissue from trauma. The skeletal system also protects the heart and lungs in the chest via the ribs.

  • Insects have exoskeleton. This exoskeleton protects the insect's internal organs, prevents it from drying out, attaches to the insect's muscles and allows the insect to gather information about its environment. 
  • Birds have pneumatic bones which are lighter because of its hollowness. This makes their body lighter, therefore would fly faster. 
  • Endoskeleton in humans serves as a point of attachment for muscle. The endoskeleton thus transmits the force of muscle contractions. The endoskeleton also provides support for the body (for example, the legs) and protection (the skull).

    An organ system comprised of skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles that are responsible for providing strength, keeping up balance, maintaining posture, allowing movement and producing heat.

    A) Bones regulate immune cells in the body 
    B) If the body is too hot, the muscle shivers. 
    C) Allow the organisms to move to a less favorable external condition
    D)If the body temperature is too high, heat is released in terms of sweat. ]]>     2018-03-06 12:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nly4/2256l9ejxeu4/wish/238556551
