 HEART
The heart’s main purpose is
to pump blood, supplying the
body with oxygen and
nutrients, and to remove
metabolic (pertaining to
metabolism) waste from the
body like carbon dioxide
from tissues in the body.
 Digestive System
The digestive system is a
major part of the muscular
system since it digests and
breaks down food into
nutrients then absorbs it.
After that, it removes the
waste from the body.
 Blood Vessels
The blood vessels is a major
organ since it carries the blood
from the heart all throughout
the body. The blood supplies
organs and tissues with oxygen
and nutrients that are needed
for them to function. This organ
carries away wastes and carbon
dioxide.

What Is the Muscular System Great job eunyu

Connected To?
The muscular system is connected to
the skeletal system. The
musculoskeletal system gives your
body its structure and support, lets
you move around and protects
important organs.
The most common muscular disease
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the most common muscular disease. It is a
genetic disorder identified by the constant loss of muscles. It affects many
parts of the body such as the deterioration of skeletal, heart, lung muscles.
Duchenne is caused by the change in the dystrophin gene.
