tissues to each other and to the walls of body cavities. c. muscle tissue - It functions in the movement of body parts and organs‚ and in the movement of substances throughout the body. There are three major types of muscle tissue: (1) skeletal muscle - It is found attached to and covering bones and it functions in body movement. (2) cardiac muscle - It is located in the heart wall and functions in the contraction and relaxation of the heart as it beats. (3) smooth muscle

control how human body uses energy. The thyroid produces calcitonin‚ which plays role in calcium homeostasis. In such a way‚ the thyroid contributes to the regulation of the level of calcium in human body. Parathyroid glands are located behind thyroid and produce parathyroid hormone in response to the low calcium level stimulating the production of calcium and balancing the amount of calcium in human body. In such a way‚ thyroid generates calcitonin‚ whereas parathyroid glands regulate the level of calcium

PART 1) MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM The human musculoskeletal system is the organ system that gives humans the ability to physically move‚ by using the muscles and skeletal system. It consists of the muscular system and the human skeleton. Bones are connected to each other at the joints by ligaments or cartilage and skeletal muscle is attached to bones‚ usually by tendons.

The body systems that will be compared and contrasted of these organisms are the nervous‚ circulatory‚ reproductive‚ muscular‚ integumentary‚ digestive‚ excretory‚ and skeletal systems. The anatomy of a human is very complex with many body systems and organs. Those systems and organs help our body function and carry out everyday activities.
