Muscular System. The muscular system is made up of tissues that work with the skeletal system to control movement of the body. Some musclesâlike the ones in your arms and legsâare voluntary, meaning that you decide when to move them. Other muscles, like the ones in your stomach, heart, intestines and other organs, are involuntary.
The function of the skeletal system is to give rigidity and form to the body. Your basic body shape is genetically determined in large part by your bone structure. If we had no bones we would be a mass of flesh and organs resembling a jellyfish. The skeletal system provides our bodies with support, protection, and shape. The rib cage and scapula protect vital organs like the lungs, kidneys, and liver found in the thoracic cavity of the body. The skull bones in the head surround and house the brain.
