    Mascular System: Function of Muscular System

    The muscular system is made up of about 700 named muscles that make up half of a person's body weight. These muscles are responsible for movement of the body, maintenance of posture, and movement of substances inside the body like blood and food. Muscle contractions also generate body heat, with many small contractions producing normal body heat and extra exertion leading to increased temperature.

    MASCULAR SYSTEM Commented [B1]:

    The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Attached to
    the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles that make up roughly
    half of a person’s body weight. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ constructed of
    skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves. Muscle tissue is also found
    inside of the heart, digestive organs, and blood vessels. In these organs, muscles serve
    to move substances throughout the bod

    Function of Muscular system

    The main function of the muscular system is

    1 :movement. Muscles are the only tissue in the body that has the ability to contract
    and therefore move the other parts of the body.

    Related to the function of movement is the muscular system’s second function

    2: the maintenance of posture and body position.

    3: Muscles often contract to hold the body still or in a particular position rather than to
    cause movement.

    4: The muscles responsible for the body’s posture have the greatest endurance of all
    muscles in the body—they hold up the body throughout the day without becoming tired.

    Another function related to movement

    5:is the movement of substances inside the body. The cardiac and visceral muscles are
    primarily responsible for transporting substances like blood or food from one part of the
    body to another.

    The final function of muscle tissue

    6: is the generation of body heat. As a result of the high metabolic rate of contracting
    muscle, our muscular system produces a great deal of waste heat. Many small muscle
    contractions within the body produce our natural body heat. When we exert ourselves
    more than normal, the extra muscle contractions lead to a rise in body temperature and
    eventually to sweating
