The skeletal system and the digestive system interact in a couple of ways. They interact by the digestive system giving them nutrients to help repair and make new parts to the cells in the skeletal system. The skeletal system also helps by protecting with the ribs, though they mainly protect the heart and lungs, other organs in the digestive system are there (liver.) The fat that the digestive system digests can be used for padding on the joints between bones. The carbohydrates from the digestive system are used to go through cellular respiration in the bones. The two systems seem very different but there is more under the surface.
