What other body systems is the muscular system vitally important to?

The muscular system of our body includes all the muscles that are present in our body and is responsible for a number of bodily functions, such as maintenance of body posture, motion, and the transport of blood. This system works in conjunction with a number of other body systems. These systems include the skeletal system, circulatory system, nervous system, digestive system, and respiratory system, among others. Our body is able to make movements because the...

The muscular system of our body includes all the muscles that are present in our body and is responsible for a number of bodily functions, such as maintenance of body posture, motion, and the transport of blood. This system works in conjunction with a number of other body systems. These systems include the skeletal system, circulatory system, nervous system, digestive system, and respiratory system, among others. Our body is able to make movements because the muscles contract or relax in particular parts of our skeleton. The circulatory system is responsible for moving nutrients and wastes around the body and depends on the pumping of the heart (which is a muscle) for these motions. The nervous system depends upon the muscular system for its output. That is, the nervous system will tell us what to do and our body makes the motion based on that signal by using muscles (an example is the automatic reaction of moving your hand away from a fire or heat source). 


Similarly, a number of other organ systems depend upon the muscular system and hence all such systems work in synergy with each other to ensure the smooth functioning of our body.


Hope this helps.
