The cardiovascular system is made up of your heart, your blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and about 5 litres of blood that the blood vessels will transport through the body and is powered by the heart. Its purpose is to pump blood that sends nutrients and oxygen to the body's organs and tissues. …show more content…
It provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.
The musculoskeletal system is made up of the body's bones (the skeleton ), muscles , cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. Its primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs.
The skeletal portion of the system serves as the main storage system for calcium and phosphorus. The importance of this storage "device" helps to regulate mineral balance in the bloodstream. When the fluctuation of minerals is high, these minerals are stored in bone; when it is low, minerals are withdrawn from the bone

Muscles: Muscles are special type of tissues of human body that posess the ability of contraction and relaxation. They can contract actively thus producing force for different body movements.
Types of Muscle Skeletal Muscle Striated, under voluntary control, found attached to skeleton, produce major movements of body parts
Smooth Muscle Non striated, not under voluntary control, found in soft organs of body, responsible for processes like digestion of food
