Name two organ systems that are working hard in the runners even before the race starts.

Digestive system and respiratory system (or circulatory, endocrine)

Describe how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to provide energy to the runners' muscles.

The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body, and the circulatory system transports that oxygen to the muscles that need it.

The skeletal system provides a framework for muscles to attach to, allowing movement and providing support.

The endocrine system releases hormones that regulate blood pressure, muscle strength, and oxygen intake.

The digestive system provides energy for athletes by converting food into usable energy, while the respiratory system brings oxygen into the body.
•
The circulatory system, which includes the heart, veins, arteries, and capillaries, carries oxygen to the muscles and tissues.
•
The skeletal and muscular systems work together to allow runners to move, with the skeleton providing a framework and muscles contracting and relaxing.
