Body system function: The function of the muscular system is to help you move. The muscular system helps you move your legs and hands. But you can't control the beat of your heart or the smooth muscle that's in your body. The ones you can't control are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

Organs: First there's the smooth muscle which have layers with one in front of the other. It can also sometimes be called the involuntary muscle and what it does is help your food through your body, then if you need to puke the smooth muscle pushes the food back up through your esophagus, and it also helps you to hold in your urine (pee) and then push it out. Then there's cardiac muscle that makes up your heart. The cardiac muscle is also called the myocardium which helps pump blood out and once the muscle relaxes the blood comes back in. After is the skeletal muscles which is also called striated muscle. The skeletal muscle is a voluntary muscle which means you can control what they do and the skeletal muscle make up the musculoskeletal system. The skeletal muscle helps you get your strength to kick a ball, throw something, and to get up when your sitting.There are also things in your body called tendons which connect your bones and muscles together. Other skeletal muscles that are in your back or near your spine are really important because it helps you stand upright. Then there's also face muscles and the face muscles are what help you make different faces to be surprised, angry, a smiling face, or just a funny face that makes people laugh. Though there are many expressions that your face can make the muscles in your face attach under your skin. Lastly there are some major muscles that you should know about such as the deltoid which helps you move your shoulders like throwing a ball, the pectoralis, the rectus abdominus muscles which are also called abs, the biceps, the quadriceps which become stronger the more you run or go on a bike ride, and gluteus maximus which you sit on when you take a seat.

One organs function: The deltiod is a major organ in the muscular system because it helps you use your arm and shoulder. Some examples are to hit something, throw something, grabbing something, pushing something, and climbing.

Interactions with other systems: The muscular system interacts with the nervous system by helping the food your digestive system move through the intestines. The muscular system helps the food move through the intestines because there's smooth muscle lining the digestive system. There's also smooth muscle in your circulatory system and your lymph system. Since  the smooth muscle is in your body it help controls your body temperature.

Analogy explanation: I think the shoe is like the muscular system because the shoe helps you move around by helping you go outside just like the smooth muscle helps food go through the digestive system. The shoe is also flexible by adjusting to your foot size and shape after the time when you wear it. The muscular system helps you be flexible and helps you move your hands and feet.

Redesign: We could make the muscular system better by making it more adaptive. If the muscular system is more adaptive it could adapt to when your hot or cold. It could also adapt to if your in space or on earth again. People would be healthier and there wouldn't be excuses for not going to someones birthday.
