digestive and skeletal
C
cardiovascular and immune

immune and muscular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system works in close cooperation with other body systems to destroy pathogens and filter waste. The lymphatic system contains immune cells called lymphocytes, which protect the body against antigens (viruses, bacteria, etc. )

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two subsystems within the immune system, known as the innate (non-specific) immune system and the adaptive (specific) immune system. Both of these subsystems are closely linked and work together whenever a germ or harmful substance triggers an immune response.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the cardiovascular level, immune cells (activated either by a psychological or physical stressor) interact with endothelial cells, cardiac stromal cells and cardiomyocytes, which adapt their metabolism to support the ongoing inflammatory process (upper part right panel).
