Both gather information from inside and outside the body
The correct response is:
Both make it possible for you to respond to your environment by moving.
Muscle cells are responsible for contraction and movement, while bone cells provide the structure and support necessary for movement to occur, making it possible for the body to respond to environmental stimuli through movement.
