Explain the process of how different body systems work together when you see a car coming when your walking across the street.
First, your brain (nervous system) receives a message via spinal cord from receptor cells about a potential danger. Next, your brain sends a message that travels through the spinal cord to the muscles (muscular system) in the legs to move and get out of the way. The skeletal system (bones) support the muscles and allow for movement.
White blood cells are mostly responsible for what?

What do red blood cells do?
Carries oxygen to muscles in the body and organs
What body system does arthritis affect?

What is heart disease?
Heart disease is any condition that affects the structure or function of the heart
