B. It regulates the movement of the muscles.
C. It forms a network of fibers to protect the muscles.
 D. Skin is attached to the muscles and serves as protective covering against
microorganisms and foreign substances.

A. The hair follicles grow from the skeletal system
B. The skin releases antibodies so that the musculo-skeletal system works well.
C. The skin regulates the absorption of calcium that keeps the bones hard and
strong.
