Muscular and Skeletal Systems

Timothy was playing soccer in a match on Saturday. He ran down the field, kicked the ball, and scored a goal for his team. Many of Timothy's body systems worked together to allow him to score the goal. How did his muscular system help him?

• It broke down food into nutrients the body needs for energy and growth.

• It brought air into the lungs to provide needed oxygen for the body.

• It transported blood through the body to bring oxygen and nutrients to cells.

• It worked with the skeletal system to produce movement.

How does the skeletal system work with the muscular system in the human body?

• The skeletal system circulates blood through the arteries and veins that run through muscles.

• The skeletal system removes waste products that build up in muscles during exercise.

• The skeletal system provides support and solid structures where tendons and muscles can attach.

• The skeletal system brings oxygen to muscle cells and carries away carbon dioxide.

Why are voluntary muscles also known as skeletal muscles?

• They are part of your skeleton

• They contain bone fragments

• They make your skeleton move

• They give your body its form and structure

Which best describes the purpose of the muscular system?

• The muscular system carries messages from the brain to the bones to move the body.

• The muscular system keeps the bones strong and protects them from being broken.

• The muscular system allows movement of bones and helps maintain posture.

• The muscular system produces energy the body needs to be able to move.
