Identify components of the following systems Muscular System: consists of skeletal muscles to produce force, perform movement, support posture and produce heat Skeletal System: provides body's structural support and protection Circulatory System: pumps blood to and from the body, sustained by the heart and lungs (composed of the cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory systems) Respiratory System: the organ system for breathing, it takes in, transports and removes gases to and from the blood for continued cellular function Nervous System: communicates all autonomic and voluntary messages to all body parts with the brain, spinal cord and nerves Digestive System: takes in, breaks down, transports, potentially transforms, and eliminates all food substances so that they can provide energy or substances for growth, maintenance or repair Immune System: protects the body from attacks by unwanted foreign invaders.

The shoulder complex consists of the following join ts: 1) sternoclavicular (SC) joint 2) acromioclavicular (AC) joint 3) glenohumeral (GH) joint The knee joint is an example of a Pivot type of joint. List three (3) supportive structures of the knee an d their respective functions: Collateral Ligaments
