b. cardiac muscle

Explanation:

1. The circulatory system transports blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to all body tissues including muscles and bones, while the integumentary system is the body's protective outer layer.
2. Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that attach skeletal muscles to bones; cartilage provides cushioning between bones.
3. The nervous system sends signals to muscles to initiate and coordinate movement, working directly with the musculoskeletal system; the respiratory system primarily handles gas exchange.
4. Skeletal muscles are under conscious, voluntary control for body movement, while cardiac muscle (heart muscle) functions involuntarily.

Answer:

1. b. Circulatory system
2. a. Tendons
