Interaction Between Muscles and Other Systems
How the Muscular System interacts with the Skeletal System
| Made
up of skeletons and surrounded by muscle, the skeletal muscle
constitutes 40 percent of an adult’s body weight. Although the nervous
system controls the contraction of the muscle, in which case a movement
is said to be involuntary, we still can manage the action of the
skeletal muscle. Thus, the nervous system is aided by the muscular
system in its functionality.

| Receptors
in muscles provide the brain with information about body position and
movement. The brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle. The
nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the
digestive tract.Your
muscular system is closely connected to the nervous system. That makes
sense since you usually have to think before you can move. Even though
thinking is not always involved, the neurons of the nervous system are
connected to most of the cells in your muscular system.

How the Muscular System interacts with the Digestive System
| You have smooth muscles that line your digestive system and help move food through your intestines.The smooth
muscle in the walls of the tube-shaped digestive organs rhythmically
and efficiently moves the food through the system.

How the Muscular System interacts with the Circulatory System
| For
instance, the cardiac muscle, which is the tissue that constitutes the
wall of the heart, called myocardium aids the circulatory system in its
function of pumping blood from the heart, and its subsequent
transportation round the body. It does this by striating and contracting
through the sliding filament method, hence, propelling the blood from
the heart.
