1) The skeletal system is the base for all of the other systems and is made of bone. Muscles are directly attached to bone by tendons and ligaments. The nerves then run around and through our muscles so when a thought to move is made then the nerve is sent from the brain to the nerves then they send it to the muscle creating a movement.
2) The smooth muscle in the walls of the tube-shaped digestive organs rhythmically and efficiently moves the food through the system, where it is broken down into tiny absorbable nutrients.
Swallowing, which is accomplished by muscle movements in the tongue and mouth, moves the food into the throat, or pharynx. From the throat, food travels down a muscular tube in the chest called the esophagus. Waves of muscle contractions called peristalsis force food down through the esophagus to the stomach. At the end of the esophagus, a muscular ring called a sphincter allows food to enter the stomach and then squeezes shut to keep food or fluid from flowing back up into the esophagus. The stomach muscles churn and mix the food with acids and enzymes, breaking it into much smaller, more digestible pieces. A walnut-sized muscular tube at the outlet of the stomach called the pylorus (pronounced: py-lore-us) keeps chyme in the stomach until it reaches the right consistency to pass into the small intestine.
3) Your heart, part of the circulatory system, is the strongest muscle? The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that help and control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation.

The skeletal system holds the muscles in place, giving them structure. I have also heard that any muscle is capable of breaking the bone it is connected to at full contraction.
The digestive system is made of muscles, generally smooth muscle which is involuntary, so that you do not have to think about contracting those muscles as you are digesting. Those muscles move the nutrients along throughout the body so that you may get their benefit, or dispose of them in the proper way.
Although the heart is a major organ/muscle, the circulatory system does more thna just pump blood. As blood enters the heart, it is deoxygenated until it makes it's way to the lungs. This is where the exchange of gasses happens so that the blood cells may replenish the nutrients needed for the body.As it re-enters the heart, it is now oxygenated and pumped throughout the whole body, supply the muscles with oxygen and nutrients they need to work.
