The skeletal system is most crucial for calcium, as it provides structural support and stores 99% of the body's calcium. Calcium is essential for functions such as muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and blood clotting.
Skeletal muscles move the body; referred to as ambulation.There are 4 primary functions of skeletal muscle:1. Movement2. Posture or muscle tone3. Support4. Heat regulation.
The sympathetic nervous system primarily contracts skeletal muscle, particularly during the "fight or flight" response, which prepares the body for physical activity. It releases neurotransmitters like norepinephrine that enhance muscle performance. The parasympathetic nervous system, on the other hand, generally promotes relaxation and does not actively contract skeletal muscle. Its role is more about conserving energy and promoting restorative functions.

The functions of the skeletal system and the muscular system support each other. They relate to one another because the skeletal system provides structure and support while the muscular system provides the power needed for movement.
The muscular system is made of a type of tissue called muscle tissue. There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Each type has unique characteristics and functions within the body.
