with muscles when body parts move
Muscular System - ✔️✔️provide forces that move body parts; maintain posture and main
source of body heat
Integumentary System - ✔️✔️protect underlying tissues, help regulate body temp, house a

wastes; carries to cells
Respiratory System - ✔️✔️process of producing offspring
Endocrine System - ✔️✔️move form glands in body fluids
Lymphatic System - ✔️✔️transports tissue fluid back to the bloodstream and carries certain
fatty substances away from digestive organs
Nervous System - ✔️✔️help muscles and glands using electron chemical signals called nerve
impulses
Reproductive System - ✔️✔️move air in and out and exchange gases between the blood and
the air oxygen goes into the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the blood enters the air
Digestive System - ✔️✔️receive foods from the outside, break down food molecules into

and/or depend on the other? - ✔️✔️The nervous system sends signals to the skeletal muscles
which allows your bones and muscles to work together through a series of impulses and
signals communicated between the brain and skeletal muscles.
Describe the interaction between the nervous and integument systems. How does one affect
and/or depend on the other? - ✔️✔️-receptors in skin send sensory information to the brain.
-the autonomic nervous system regulates peripheral blood flow and sweat glands.

Describe the interaction between the nervous and muscular system. How does on affect
and/or depend on the other? - ✔️✔️-receptors in muscles provide the brain with information
about body position and movement.
-the brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle.

out; main glandular tissue; attached to underlying connective tissue by non cellular nonliving
basement membrane; cells reproduce rapidly (rapidly healing); cells tightly packed together
Connective Tissue - ✔️✔️most abundant tissue in your body, found throughout; binds
structures together; provides support, protection, framework, fills space, stores fat, produces
blood cells, fights infection and helps repair tissue; composed of more scattered cells with
abundant inter cellular material; most has a good blood supply; cells can reproduce
Muscle Tissue - ✔️✔️made up of Skeletal tissue, Smooth tissue and Cardiac tissue
Nerve Tissue - ✔️✔️found in brain, spinal cord, nerves; neurons- transmit signals; neuroglia-
protection, support
Simple Squamous Epithelial - ✔️✔️single layer (simple) of very thin, flattened cells
(squamous.) Function: diffusion and filtration; found in air sacs of lungs, walls of capillaries
Bone Tissue - ✔️✔️Osseus, structural tissue of the skeleton
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelial - ✔️✔️appear "stratified" but really a single layer with
nuclei at various levels giving the appearance of layered calls. Usually ciliated (tiny, hair-like
