Explanation:

1. The spinal cord is part of the nervous system, and the knee movement involves the muscular system.
2. The intestines are part of the digestive system, and blood is part of the circulatory system.
3. Hormones are produced by the endocrine system, and facial hair growth is related to the integumentary system.
4. The stomach is part of the digestive system, and its movement involves the muscular system.
5. Fluid removal and return involve the lymphatic system and the circulatory system.
6. Gonads are part of the endocrine system, and puberty - related changes also involve the reproductive system.
7. Intestines are part of the digestive system, and waste removal involves the excretory system.
8. Marrow is part of the skeletal system, and red blood cell production is related to the circulatory system.
9. Helper T - cells are part of the immune system, and traveling through the bloodstream involves the circulatory system.
10. Hormones are part of the endocrine system, and asthma (related to breathing) involves the respiratory system.
