Relationships - Musculoskeletal

Question 1

Explain the relationship between the skeletal and muscular system in maintaining a healthy body

Answer 1

Both the skeletal and muscular systems work together.
Because muscles attach to bone via tendons.
Then the muscle contracts and pulls on the bone so movement is generated.

Question 2

Describe how the musculoskeletal system helps to maintain body temperature when it is low.

Answer 2

shivering, which produces heat through rapid muscular contraction and relaxation

Question 3

Explain the relationship between the skeletal and circulatory system

Answer 3

Because bone marrow, found in the center of most bones, manufactures red and white blood cells and platelets.

Then red blood cells can carry oxygen from the lungs and deliver to cells
and pick up carbon dioxide from cells and take to lungs, while white blood cells can protect against pathogens, ensuring optimal bone health.
