The Muscle System's Job:
When the core body temperature drops, the shivering reflex is triggered to maintain homeostasis. Muscle groups around the vital organs begin to shake in small movements in an attempt to create warmth by expending energy.In this way, muscular system maintain homeostasis.
With the Other Body Systems:
It works with the nervous system for reflexes; when the nervous system receives a signal, it sends another signal to effectors (the muscles) to move away from the harmful object.
It works with the skeletal system for locomotion.
It is also part of the digestive system. In the esophagus and small intestine, peristalsis are muscular contractions to move the food to be digestive to other digestive organs. It also aids in mechanical digestion (the stomach helps churn the food).
The circulatory system brings nutrients to the muscles and takes away wastes. The circulatory system also carries hormones that regulate muscular activity. The pump for the circulatory system is the heart, which just so happens to be a muscle.
The muscular system interacts with the digestive system in several places. The muscles of the jaw help to chew food, and then muscles that line the esophagus move food from the mouth to the stomach. Muscles lining the intestines move digesting food along, and muscles control sphincters that isolate the sections of the digestive system.
The main way that muscles work with the respiratory system is the diaphragm: a large, flat muscle that is in between the lungs and the intestines. It is the movement of the diaphragm that causes the lungs to inflate and deflate.
