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.
Your skeletal system is made up of cartilage and calcified bone that work together. They help the process of movement happen in a smoother manner. The calcified bones of your skeleton also work with the circulatory system. Marrow inside of your bones helps produce the cells inside of you blood. Both red blood cells and white blood cells are created in your bones. Sometimes your skeletal system and the tissues of your skeleton can have problems.
