Functions of the Muscular System

The muscular system is composed of all the body tissues capable of contracting and relaxing, therefore, producing movement in its body parts. The muscles allow you to do many things, like sitting,moving when you want, chew your food, and help you talk. Without muscles we could not do anything. Every muscle in your body has a purpose, for example, the cardiac muscle pumps blood to the heart and through your blood vessels. Without the cardiac muscle, we would not be living.

Around the world people use their muscles everyday to go to work, shop, eat, and play.
