Body Systems Supporting Movement

The skeletal and muscular systems work together to support the body and enable movement.

Excretory System Function

The excretory system filters and removes liquid wastes from the body.

Shared Function of Digestive & Excretory

Both systems eliminate wastes, but they do so in different ways. The digestive system removes solid waste, while the excretory system removes liquid waste.

Types of Muscles

The three types of muscles are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
