What is the main function of the muscular system?
To produce movement
These are the hard structures that make up the skeleton.
Bones
What is the role of the nervous system in the body
to gather and respond to information

Name the 3 types of muscle
Cardiac, smooth, skeletal
What protects the heart and lungs from external factors
The rib cage

Neurons
These chemical messengers affect organs and tissues.
Hormones
This layer of skin is the outermost and provides protection
The epidermis
This type of muscle makes up the heart.
Cardiac
This system works closely with the skeletal system to allow movement
The muscular system
This organ controls most nervous system functions
The brain
Name the 2 structures of the reproductive system
Egg cells and sperm cells
This pigment protects the skin from UV damage.

This is the soft tissue in bones where blood cells are made
Bone marrow
Give an example of interdependence between the muscular system and nervous system
Seeing a ball causes your foot to kick it
Sunlight causes the pupils of your eyes to get smaller
How do the reproductive and endocrine systems work together?
The endocrine system controls the release of hormones that help the reproductive system function.
